Perturbative Corrections to Expectation Consistent Approximate Inference
Published on Dec 31, 20073712 Views
Algorithms for approximate inference usually come without any guarantee for the quality of the approximation. Nevertheless, we often find cases where such algorithms perform extremely well on the comp
