We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. As an extension of Welling and ...
A fundamental question in causal inference is whether it is possible to reliably infer the manipulation effects from observational data. There are a variety of senses of asymptot...
This paper presents a new deterministic approximation technique in Bayesian networks. This method, "Expectation Propagation," unifies two previous techniques: assumed-de...
In this paper we present a method of computing the posterior probability of conditional independence of two or more continuous variables from data, examined at several resolutions...
Common wisdom has it that small distinctions in the probabilities quantifying a belief network do not matter much for the results of probabilistic queries. Yet, one can develop re...
