Context-specific approximation in probabilistic inference
There is evidence that the numbers in probabilistic inference don't really matter. This paper considers the idea that we can make a probabilistic model simpler by making fewe...

Inducing Tree-Substitution Grammars
Inducing a grammar from text has proven to be a notoriously challenging learning task despite decades of research. The primary reason for its difficulty is that in order to induce...

Inference in Multilayer Networks via Large Deviation Bounds
We study probabilistic inference in large, layered Bayesian networks represented as directed acyclic graphs. We show that the intractability of exact inference in such networks do...

Probabilistic Partial Evaluation: Exploiting Rule Structure in Probabilistic Inference
Bayesian belief networks have grown to prominence because they provide compact representations of many domains, and there are algorithms to exploit this compactness. The next step...

First-order probabilistic inference
Most probabilistic inference algorithms are specified and processed on a propositional level. In the last decade, many proposals for algorithms accepting first-order specificat...
