Improved Moves for Truncated Convex Models
We consider the problem of obtaining the approximate maximum a posteriori estimate of a discrete random field characterized by pairwise potentials that form a truncated convex mod...

Case-Factor Diagrams for Structured Probabilistic Modeling
We introduce a probabilistic formalism subsuming Markov random fields of bounded tree width and probabilistic context free grammars. Our models are based on a representation of Bo...

Formal Methods for Systems Engineering Behavior Models
Abstract--Safety analysis in Systems Engineering (SE) processes, as usually implemented, rarely relies on formal methods such as model checking since such techniques, however power...
