This method was developed by modifying the message passing operator in loopy belief propagation so that it's more robust to graphs with cycles.

Jan 28, 2022 · This paper reports for the first time a message passing algorithm capable of training multi-layer neural networks with satisfactory performance.

Jan 23, 2012 · Abstract. In Bayesian networks, exact belief propagation is achieved through message pass- ing algorithms. These algorithms (ex: inward and ...

This paper presents a unifying view of message- passing algorithms, as methods to approximate a complex Bayesian network by a simpler network.

Message passing algorithms operate on 'messages' asso- ciated with edges of the factor graph, and update them recursively through local computations done at the ...

Feb 13, 2019 · These are variational message passing and belief propagation – each of which is derived from a free energy functional that relies upon different ...
