Optimal DR-Submodular Maximization and Applications to Provable Mean Field Inference
An Bian, Joachim M. Buhmann, Andreas Krause
Mean field inference in probabilistic models is generally a highly nonconvex problem. Existing optimization methods, e.g., coordinate ascent algorithms, can only generate local opt…
