Bounds on marginal probability distributions
We propose a novel bound on single-variable marginal probability distributions in factor graphs with discrete variables. The bound is obtained by propagating local bounds (convex ...

Local Edge Colouring of Yao-Like Subgraphs of Unit Disk Graphs
The focus of the present paper is on providing a local deterministic algorithm for colouring the edges of Yao-like subgraphs of Unit Disc Graphs. These are geometric graphs such t...

Polyhedral outer approximations with application to natural language parsing
Recent approaches to learning structured predictors often require approximate inference for tractability; yet its effects on the learned model are unclear. Meanwhile, most learnin...

Model Selection Through Sparse Maximum Likelihood Estimation
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

Energy Efficient Routing for Statistical Inference of Markov Random Fields
The problem of routing of sensor observations for optimal detection of a Markov random field (MRF) at a designated fusion center is analyzed. Assuming that the correlation structur...
