Approximate inference by Markov chains on union spaces
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...

Alphabet SOUP: A Framework for Approximate Energy Minimization
Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models is NP-hard, mu...
