Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
Simulation of large-scale networks requires enormous amounts of memory and processing time. One way of speeding up these simulations is to distribute the model over a number of co...
In this paper we develop distributed approaches for power allocation and scheduling in wireless access networks. We consider a model where users communicate over a set of parallel...
