On Modeling Profiles Instead of Values
We consider the problem of estimating the distribution underlying an observed sample of data. Instead of maximum likelihood, which maximizes the probability of the observed values...

A New Characterization of Probabilities in Bayesian Networks
We characterize probabilities in Bayesian networks in terms of algebraic expressions called quasi-probabilities. These are arrived at by casting Bayesian networks as noisy AND-OR-...

Blind Construction of Optimal Nonlinear Recursive Predictors for Discrete Sequences
We present a new method for nonlinear prediction of discrete random sequences under minimal structural assumptions. We give a mathematical construction for optimal predictors of s...

Heuristic Search Value Iteration for POMDPs
We present a novel POMDP planning algorithm called heuristic search value iteration (HSVI). HSVI is an anytime algorithm that returns a policy and a provable bound on its regret w...

Graph Partition Strategies for Generalized Mean Field Inference
An autonomous variational inference algorithm for arbitrary graphical models requires the ability to optimize variational approximations over the space of model parameters as well...
