Intermediate Simultaneous Inference Procedures

Structured Variational Inference Procedures and their Realizations

We describe and prove the convergence of several algorithms for approximate structured variational inference. We discuss the computation cost of these algorithms and describe their relationship to the mean-field and generalized-mean-field variational approaches and other structured variational methods.

Typesafety for Explicitly-Coded Probabilistic Inference Procedures

Selecting a Good System: Procedures and Inference

We present two-stage experiment designs for use in simulation experiments that compare systems in terms of their expected (long-run average) performance. These procedures simultaneously achieve the following with a prespecified probability of being correct: (a) find the best system or a near-best system; (b) identify a subset of systems that are more than a practically insignificant difference ...

On Inference-Based Procedures for Lexical Disambiguation

In this paper we sketch a decidable inference-based procedure for lexical disambiguation which operates on semantic representations of discourse and conceptual knowledge, In contrast to other approaches which use a classical logic for the disambiguating inferences and run into decidability problems, we argue on the basis of empirical evidence that the underlying iifference mechanism has to be e...
