Exploiting qualitative domain knowledge for learning Bayesian network parameters with incomplete data
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...

Perturb-and-MAP Random Fields: Using Discrete Optimization\\to Learn and Sample from Energy Models
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
