Approximate Inference Algorithms for Two-Layer Bayesian Networks

 Andrew Y. Ng and Michael Jordan
  
 

Abstract:
We present a class of approximate inference algorithms for two-layer graphical models of the QMR-DT type. We give convergence rates for these algorithms as the networks become large (subject to conditions on the size of the weights that ensure local averaging behavior), and verify these theoretical predictions empirically. We also present empirical results on the QMR-DT diagnostic inference problem.
