Expectation Propagation for approximate Bayesian inference
This paper presents a new deterministic approximation technique in Bayesian networks. This method, "Expectation Propagation," unifies two previous techniques: assumed-de...

Continuity and Additivity of the Trapezoidal Approximation Preserving the Expected Interval Operator
Abstract-- The nearest trapezoidal fuzzy number to a fuzzy number, with respect to a well-known metric and preserving the expected interval, was determined in recent articles. In t...

Sample average approximation of expected value constrained stochastic programs
We propose a sample average approximation (SAA) method for stochastic programming problems involving an expected value constraint. Such problems arise, for example, in portfolio s...

On MBR Approximation of Histories for Historical Queries: Expectations and Limitations
Traditional approaches for efficiently processing historical queries, where a history is a multidimensional timeseries, employ a two step filter-and-refine scheme. In the filter s...

Expectation Consistent Free Energies for Approximate Inference
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
