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 ...
In our case study we investigate a server for answering OWLQL queries with distinguished variables only (henceforth called OWLQL). This server acts as a proxy that delegates queri...
We introduce a computationally efficient method to estimate the validity of the BP method as a function of graph topology, the connectivity strength, frustration and network size....
In this paper we present Discriminative Random Fields (DRF), a discriminative framework for the classification of natural image regions by incorporating neighborhood spatial depe...
Both the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community and the Operations Research (OR) community are interested in developing techniques for solving hard combinatorial problems. OR has ...
