Graph polynomials and approximation of partition functions with Loopy Belief Propagation
The Bethe approximation, or loopy belief propagation algorithm, is a successful method for approximating partition functions of probabilistic models associated with graphs. Chertkov and Chernyak derived an interesting formula called “Loop Series Expansion”, which is an expansion of the partition function. The main term of the series is the Bethe approximation while the other terms are labeled b...
متن کاملConstraints Based Convex Belief Propagation
Inference in Markov random fields subject to consistency structure is a fundamental problem that arises in many real-life applications. In order to enforce consistency, classical approaches utilize consistency potentials or encode constraints over feasible instances. Unfortunately this comes at the price of a tremendous computational burden. In this paper we suggest to tackle consistency by inc...
متن کاملBelief Propagation Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization Problems
The typical behavior of optimal solutions to portfolio optimization problems with absolute deviation and expected shortfall models using replica analysis was pioneeringly estimated by S. Ciliberti et al. [Eur. Phys. B. 57, 175 (2007)]; however, they have not yet developed an approximate derivation method for finding the optimal portfolio with respect to a given return set. In this study, an app...
متن کاملCollaborative multiagent Gaussian inference in a dynamic environment using belief propagation
The problem of multiagent Gaussian inference in a dynamic environment, also known as distributed Kalman filtering, is formulated into the framework of message passing algorithms. Upon generalizing the derivation of the standard Kalman filter to the distributed case, we propose novel solutions that outperform current state of the art techniques.
متن کاملAn Approximate Hardware Check Node for $\\lambda$-min-based LDPC Decoders
In this paper, iterative decoding using Belief Propagation λ-min decoding algorithm is considered. In this algorithm check nodes use only the λ lowest-magnitude messages thus simplifying the hardware complexity and reducing memory usage. A parallel-input architecture is proposed for the check node. We focus on the determination of the sought minima in a parallel fashion. Novel simplified circui...
