arXiv:2609. 29466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate message passing on factor graphs underlies two dominant families of probabilistic inference algorithms: expectation propagation (EP) and variational message passing (VMP).
arXiv:2310.02423v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a new algorithm for amortized inference in sparse probabilistic graphical models (PGMs), which we call $\Delta$-amortized inference ($\D...
arXiv:2608. 15922v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that the natural-gradient stationary condition of variational inference has an edge-local form on a Forney-style factor graph.
arXiv:2606. 05042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marginal inference in discrete graphical models forces a choice between exactness and scalability: exact algorithms are intractable for high-treewidth graphs, while iterative approximations (Belief Propagation, variational methods) sacrifice convergence guarantees on frustrated topologies.
arXiv:2606. 19366v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Information lattice learning (ILL) learns interpretable rules of a signal by alternately projecting the signal onto a partition lattice that encodes a hierarchy of abstractions and lifting selected rules back to the signal domain.
arXiv:2607. 17674v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A language model $p_\theta(y \mid x)$ trained on reasoning tasks learns to solve problems via multiple distinct strategies, yet these strategies are implicit and entangled within the model's response distribution.
arXiv:2603. 00045v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion language models theoretically allow for efficient parallel generation but are practically hindered by the ``factorization barrier'': the assumption that simultaneously predicted tokens are independent.
arXiv:2401. 04890v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization, which applies when the latent factors of interest depend sparsely on observed auxiliary variables and/or past latent factors.
arXiv:2609.39525v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Casting Bayesian inference as a neural network optimization problem targeting an amortized posterior is attractive, as it extends to otherwise intracta...
arXiv:2608. 11917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-output Gaussian process regression scales cubically in the number of observations times outputs, and dense kernel-matrix methods need bespoke handling whenever different outputs are observed at different inputs.
arXiv:2606. 11831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural relational inference (NRI) methods discover interaction graphs from trajectories through variational reasoning on discrete potential edges.
arXiv:2603. 12037v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Foundation models based on prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have shown strong empirical performance in causal inference by framing the task as an in-context learning problem.
The paper introduces Variational Bayesian Flow Network (VBFN), a graph generation model that lifts Bayesian updates to a joint Gaussian belief family with structured precisions, enabling coupled node and edge updates in a single fusion step. By constructing sample‑agnostic sparse precisions from a representation‑induced dependency graph, VBFN avoids label leakage while enforcing node‑edge consistency. Experiments on synthetic and molecular graph datasets show that VBFN improves fidelity and diversity over baseline methods.
