Information Geometry of Message Passing
Mykola Lukashchuk, Kyrylo Yemets, Alex Ledbetter +1
We show that the natural-gradient stationary condition of variational inference has an edge-local form on a Forney-style factor graph. We start from the Bethe free energy and const…

A Factor Graph Approach to Scalable Multi-Output Gaussian Process Regression
Wouter W. L. Nuijten, Esther G. van Pelt, Albert Podusenko +2
Multi-output Gaussian process regression scales cubically in the number of observations times outputs, and dense kernel-matrix methods need bespoke handling whenever different outp…

Chance-Constrained Active Inference
Thijs van de Laar, Ismail Senoz, Ayça Özçelikkale +1
Active Inference (ActInf) is an emerging theory that explains perception and action in biological agents, in terms of minimizing a free energy bound on Bayesian surprise. Goal-dire…
