A Revolution: Belief Propagation In Graphs With Cycles

 Brendan J. Frey and David J. C. MacKay
  
 

Abstract:
Until recently, artificial intelligence researchers have frowned upon the application of probability propagation in Bayesian belief networks that have cycles. The probability propagation algorithm is only exact in networks that are cycle-free. However, it has recently been discovered that the two best practical eror-correcting decoding algorithms are actually performing probability propagation in belief networks with cycles.
