What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...

A mixed time-scale algorithm for distributed parameter estimation : Nonlinear observation models and imperfect communication
Abstract— The paper considers the algorithm NLU for distributed (vector) parameter estimation in sensor networks, where, the local observation models are nonlinear, and inter-sen...

Discovering Weakly-Interacting Factors in a Complex Stochastic Process
Dynamic Bayesian networks are structured representations of stochastic processes. Despite their structure, exact inference in DBNs is generally intractable. One approach to approx...

Turbo Parsers: Dependency Parsing by Approximate Variational Inference
We present a unified view of two state-of-theart non-projective dependency parsers, both approximate: the loopy belief propagation parser of Smith and Eisner (2008) and the relaxe...

Structured Learning with Approximate Inference
In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is us...
