Convergence of a distributed parameter estimator for sensor networks with local averaging of the estimates
The paper addresses the convergence of a decentralized Robbins-Monro algorithm for networks of agents. This algorithm combines local stochastic approximation steps for finding th...

Modeling Interaction via the Principle of Maximum Causal Entropy
The principle of maximum entropy provides a powerful framework for statistical models of joint, conditional, and marginal distributions. However, there are many important distribu...

What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...

Iterative Conditional Fitting for Gaussian Ancestral Graph Models
Ancestral graph models, introduced by Richardson and Spirtes (2002), generalize both Markov random fields and Bayesian networks to a class of graphs with a global Markov property ...

Piecewise pseudolikelihood for efficient training of conditional random fields
Discriminative training of graphical models can be expensive if the variables have large cardinality, even if the graphical structure is tractable. In such cases, pseudolikelihood...
