Exact Lifted Inference with Distinct Soft Evidence on Every Object
The presence of non-symmetric evidence has been a barrier for the application of lifted inference since the evidence destroys the symmetry of the first-order probabilistic model....

A Tractable First-Order Probabilistic Logic
Tractable subsets of first-order logic are a central topic in AI research. Several of these formalisms have been used as the basis for first-order probabilistic languages. Howev...

Branch-and-price global optimization for multi-view multi-object tracking
We present a new algorithm to jointly track multiple objects in multi-view images. While this has been typically addressed separately in the past, we tackle the problem as a single...

The Structure of Signals: Causal Interdependence Models for Games of Incomplete Information
Traditional economic models typically treat private information, or signals, as generated from some underlying state. Recent work has explicated alternative models, where signals ...

Learning graphical models for hypothesis testing and classification
Sparse graphical models have proven to be a flexible class of multivariate probability models for approximating high-dimensional distributions. In this paper, we propose techniques...

Focused Belief Propagation for Query-Specific Inference
With the increasing popularity of largescale probabilistic graphical models, even "lightweight" approximate inference methods are becoming infeasible. Fortunately, often...

PAC-Bayesian Analysis of Co-clustering and Beyond
We derive PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds for supervised and unsupervised learning models based on clustering, such as co-clustering, matrix tri-factorization, graphical models...
