(BP)2: Beyond pairwise Belief Propagation labeling by approximating Kikuchi free energies
Belief Propagation (BP) can be very useful and efficient for performing approximate inference on graphs. But when the graph is very highly connected with strong conflicting intera...

Hardness of approximate two-level logic minimization and PAC learning with membership queries
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...

A Unifying Approach to Hard and Probabilistic Clustering
We derive the clustering problem from first principles showing that the goal of achieving a probabilistic, or ”hard”, multi class clustering result is equivalent to the algeb...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...
