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...

Variational methods for the Dirichlet process
Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...

Coherent Inference on Optimal Play in Game Trees
Round-based games are an instance of discrete planning problems. Some of the best contemporary game tree search algorithms use random roll-outs as data. Relying on a good policy, ...

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...

ERACER: a database approach for statistical inference and data cleaning
Real-world databases often contain syntactic and semantic errors, in spite of integrity constraints and other safety measures incorporated into modern DBMSs. We present ERACER, an...
