We introduce novel results for approximate inference on planar graphical models using the loop calculus framework. The loop calculus (Chertkov and Chernyak, 2006b) allows to expre...
Functional mixed-effects models are very useful in analyzing functional data. A general functional mixed-effects model that inherits the flexibility of linear mixed-effects model...
In this paper, we consider estimating sparse inverse covariance of a Gaussian graphical model whose conditional independence is assumed to be partially known. Similarly as in [5],...
In many applications of graphical models arising in computer vision, the hidden variables of interest are most naturally specified by continuous, non-Gaussian distributions. There...

—We consider the problem of inferring link loss rates using passive measurements. Prior inference approaches are mainly built on the time correlation nature of packet losses. How...
