A tiered move-making algorithm for general pairwise MRFs
A large number of problems in computer vision can be modeled as energy minimization problems in a markov random field (MRF) framework. Many methods have been developed over the y...

From Pictorial Structures to deformable structures
Pictorial Structures (PS) define a probabilistic model of 2D articulated objects in images. Typical PS models assume an object can be represented by a set of rigid parts connecte...

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...

Belief Propagation by Message Passing in Junction Trees: Computing Each Message Faster Using GPU Parallelization
Compiling Bayesian networks (BNs) to junction trees and performing belief propagation over them is among the most prominent approaches to computing posteriors in BNs. However, bel...

Training a Log-Linear Parser with Loss Functions via Softmax-Margin
Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...

Coarse-to-Fine Inference and Learning for First-Order Probabilistic Models
Coarse-to-fine approaches use sequences of increasingly fine approximations to control the complexity of inference and learning. These techniques are often used in NLP and visio...

Dual Decomposition for Marginal Inference
We present a dual decomposition approach to the treereweighted belief propagation objective. Each tree in the tree-reweighted bound yields one subproblem, which can be solved with...

SigSag: Iterative detection through soft message-passing
—The multiple-access framework of ZigZag decoding [1] is a useful technique for combating interference via multiple repeated transmissions, and is known to be compatible with dis...
