A Revolution: Belief Propagation in Graphs with Cycles

Abstract

Until recently, artificial intelligence researchers have frowned upon the application of probability propagation in Bayesian belief net(cid:173) works that have cycles. The probability propagation algorithm is only exact in networks that are cycle-free. However, it has recently been discovered that the two best error-correcting decoding algo(cid:173) rithms are actually performing probability propagation in belief networks with cycles.
