We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of...
We prove a quasi-polynomial lower bound on the size of bounded-depth Frege proofs of the pigeonhole principle PHPm n where m ´1 · 1 polylog nµn. This lower bound qualitatively ...

Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
