Efficient Learning of Deep Boltzmann Machines
We present a new approximate inference algorithm for Deep Boltzmann Machines (DBM's), a generative model with many layers of hidden variables. The algorithm learns a separate...

A forward-backward Monte Carlo method for solving influence diagrams
Although influence diagrams are powerful tools for representing and solving complex decisionmaking problems, their evaluation may require an enormous computational effort and this...

Approximate Learning of Dynamic Models
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...

ERACER: a database approach for statistical inference and data cleaning
Real-world databases often contain syntactic and semantic errors, in spite of integrity constraints and other safety measures incorporated into modern DBMSs. We present ERACER, an...

Inference in the Promedas Medical Expert System
Abstract. In the current paper, the Promedas model for internal medicine, developed by our team, is introduced. The model is based on up-todate medical knowledge and consists of ap...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...
