An Introduction to Variational Methods for Graphical Models [chapter]

Michael I. Jordan, Zoubin Ghahramani, Tommi S. Jaakkola, Lawrence K. Saul
1998 Learning in Graphical Models  
This paper presents a tutorial introduction to the use of variational methods for inference and learning in graphical models (Bayesian networks and Markov random fields).  ...  We then introduce variational methods, which exploit laws of large numbers to transform the original graphical model into a simplified graphical model in which inference is efficient.  ...  Acknowledgments We wish to thank Brendan Frey, David Heckerman, Uffe Kjaerulff, and (as always) Peter Dayan for helpful comments on the manuscript. Notes  ...
