Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...
A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...
We use the data collected by the Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC) for modeling the radiologists’ nodule interpretations based on image content of the nodule by using decisi...

We study graph estimation and density estimation in high dimensions, using a family of density estimators based on forest structured undirected graphical models. For density estim...
