Erratum: Computing and Computation

Computing and Computation

Over the past few years I have been engaged in an effort to understand computing as a scientific domain [1–4]. In the process I have gradually become convinced that computing amounts to a great scientific domain, on par with the physical, life, and social sciences. In brief, a great scientific domain concerns the understanding and shaping of the interactions among a coherent, distinctive and ex...

Computing Marginals Using Local Computation

This paper describes an abstract framework called valuation network for computation of marginals using local computation. In valuation networks, we represent knowledge using functions called valuations. Making inferences involves using two operators called marginalization and combination. Marginalization tells us how to coarsen a valuation by eliminating some variables. Combination tells us how...
