Abstract Selectivity estimation of a boolean query based on frequent itemsets can be solved by describing the problem by a linear program. However, the number of variables in the e...
A recent algorithmic procedure for computing the absolute factorization of a polynomial P(X, Y ), after a linear change of coordinates, is via a factorization modulo X3 . This was...
We propose a novel bound on single-variable marginal probability distributions in factor graphs with discrete variables. The bound is obtained by propagating local bounds (convex ...
We consider the problem of learning multiscale graphical models. Given a collection of variables along with covariance specifications for these variables, we introduce hidden var...

Unifying first-order logic and probability is a long-standing goal of AI, and in recent years many representations combining aspects of the two have been proposed. However, infere...
