Belief propagation is shown to be an instance of a hybrid between two projection algorithms in the convex programming literature: Dykstra's algorithm with cyclic Bregman proje...
Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probabi...
The fuzzy belief Petri net we propose in this paper propagates fuzzy beliefs from observations at nodes that represent measured parameters to fuzzy beliefs of the truths of parame...
In this paper we will show that a restricted class of constrained minimum divergence problems, named generalized inference problems, can be solved by approximating the KL divergen...
Belief propagation over pairwise connected Markov Random Fields has become a widely used approach, and has been successfully applied to several important computer vision problems....
