From Fields to Trees
Firas Hamze, Nando de Freitas
We present new MCMC algorithms for computing the posterior distributions and expectations of the unknown variables in undirected graphical models with regular structure. For demons…

Large-Flip Importance Sampling
Firas Hamze, Nando de Freitas
We propose a new Monte Carlo algorithm for complex discrete distributions. The algorithm is motivated by the N-Fold Way, which is an ingenious event-driven MCMC sampler that avoids…

Intracluster Moves for Constrained Discrete-Space MCMC
Firas Hamze, Nando de Freitas
This paper addresses the problem of sampling from binary distributions with constraints. In particular, it proposes an MCMC method to draw samples from a distribution of the set of…
