A Theory of Mean Field Approximation

 Toshiyuki Tanaka
  
 

Abstract:
I present a theory of mean field approximation based on information geometry. This theory includes in a consistent way the naive mean field approximation, as well as the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) approach and the linear response theorem in statistical physics, giving clear information-theoretic interpretations to them.
