The Unified Propagation and Scaling Algorithm
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...

Portfolio Credit Risk Analysis Involving CDO Tranches
Credit risk analysis for portfolios containing CDO tranches is a challenging task for risk managers. We propose here a basis function approach for CDO tranche valuation and portfo...

A Stochastic Method for Solving Inverse Problems in Epidemic Modelling
— We describe a stochastic optimization method that can be used to solve inverse problems in epidemic modelling. Although in general it cannot be expected that these inverse prob...

Probabilistic Arc Consistency: A Connection between Constraint Reasoning and Probabilistic Reasoning
We document a connection between constraint reasoning and probabilistic reasoning. We present an algorithm, called probabilistic arc consistency, which is both a generalization of...

Structure and Parameter Learning for Causal Independence and Causal Interaction Models
We begin by discussing causal independence models and generalize these models to causal interaction models. Causal interaction models are models that have independent mechanisms w...
