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...

Approximate inference for first-order probabilistic languages
A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...

Expectation Consistent Free Energies for Approximate Inference
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...

A Recursive Model-Reduction Method for Approximate Inference in Gaussian Markov Random Fields
This paper presents recursive cavity modeling--a principled, tractable approach to approximate, near-optimal inference for large Gauss-Markov random fields. The main idea is to su...

Transductive Gaussian Process Regression with Automatic Model Selection
Abstract. In contrast to the standard inductive inference setting of predictive machine learning, in real world learning problems often the test instances are already available at ...
