Bounding the Partition Function of Spin-Systems
With a graph G = (V, E) we associate a collection of non-negative real weights vV {i,v : 1 i m} uvE{ij,uv : 1 i j m}. We consider the probability distribution on {f : V {1,...

On Properties of the Minimum Entropy Sub-tree to Compute Lower Bounds on the Partition Function
— Computing the partition function and the marginals of a global probability distribution are two important issues in any probabilistic inference problem. In a previous work, we ...

Binary space partitions for axis-parallel line segments: Size-height tradeoffs
We present worst-case lower bounds on the minimum size of a binary space partition (BSP) tree as a function of its height, for a set S of n axis-parallel line segments in the plan...

Rate distortion bounds on passive sonar performance
Abstract-- Information theory provides a novel perspective on passive sonar performance analysis. This approach begins by partitioning the search space and then considers the probl...

New Mini-Bucket Partitioning Heuristics for Bounding the Probability of Evidence
Mini-Bucket Elimination (MBE) is a well-known approximation algorithm deriving lower and upper bounds on quantities of interest over graphical models. It relies on a procedure tha...
