There is a fundamental relationship between belief propagation and maximum a posteriori decoding. A decoding algorithm, which we call the Maxwell decoder, is introduced and provide...
Extracting useful knowledge from large network datasets has become a fundamental challenge in many domains, from scientific literature to social networks and the web. We introduc...

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...
