چکیده
check the effectiveness. In some cases, such as Dobrushin's condition is satisfied, the error bounds and the improvement procedure seem effective. Nevertheless, the region where one can obtain good bounds seems restrictive. We give some remarks in the rest of this section. First, the concept of estimates we used in this paper was developed for general Gibbs measures, so that there may be a possibility of improvements in application to LBP. Second, we used

Correctness of Belief Propagation in Gaussian Graphical Models of Arbitrary Topology Correctness of Belief Propagation in Gaussian Graphical Models of Arbitrary Topology
Graphical models, such as Bayesian networks and Markov random elds represent statistical dependencies of variables by a graph. Local \belief propagation" rules of the sort proposed by Pearl [20] are guaranteed to converge to the correct posterior probabilities in singly connected graphs. Recently good performance has been obtained by using these same rules on graphs with loops, a method known a...
متن کاملThe Unified Propagation and Scaling Algorithm
In this paper we will show that a restricted class of minimum divergence problems, named generalized inference problems, can be solved by approximating the KL divergence with a Bethe free energy. The algorithm we derive is closely related to both loopy belief propagation and iterative scaling. This unified propagation and scaling algorithm reduces to a convergent alternative for loopy belief pr...

Recently, a number of researchers have demonstrated excellent performance by using \loopy belief propagation" | using Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops. The most dramatic instance is the near Shannon-limit performance of \Turbo Codes" | error-correcting codes whose decoding algorithm is equivalent to loopy belief propagation. In this paper we ask: is there something sp...
متن کاملStable Fixed Points of Loopy Belief Propagation Are Minima of the Bethe Free Energy
We extend recent work on the connection between loopy belief propagation and the Bethe free energy. Constrained minimization of the Bethe free energy can be turned into an unconstrained saddle-point problem. Both converging double-loop algorithms and standard loopy belief propagation can be interpreted as attempts to solve this saddle-point problem. Stability analysis then leads us to conclude ...
متن کاملSufficient Conditions for Convergence of Loopy Belief Propagation
We derive novel sufficient conditions for convergence of Loopy Belief Propagation (also known as the Sum-Product algorithm) to a unique fixed point. Our results improve upon previously known conditions. For binary variables with (anti-)ferromagnetic interactions, our conditions seem to be sharp.
متن کاملHybrid Loopy Belief Propagation
We propose an algorithm called Hybrid Loopy Belief Propagation (HLBP), which extends the Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) (Murphy et al., 1999) and Nonparametric Belief Propagation (NBP) (Sudderth et al., 2003) algorithms to deal with general hybrid Bayesian networks. The main idea is to represent the LBP messages with mixture of Gaussians and formulate their calculation as Monte Carlo integratio...
