Abstract

See full text

A message passing scheme for MAP inference on Markov Random Fields based on a message computation using an intermediate input vector I, an output message vector M, an auxiliary seed vector S, all of equal length N, and a pairwise function r=d(x,y), where r, x, y are real numbers, includes:

    for each element j of vector S, do S(j)=jconsider an index distance Δ=2^floor(log 2(N)); repeat while Δ>0for each index of vector I, namely i, do in parallel: consider the set of all indices within distance Δ from a given i, augmented by i; for every k belonging to this set, calculate its distance from i using the function: d(i,k)+I(S(k)); find the minimum distance and call n the index corresponding to this minimum distancedo S(i)=S(n)Δ=floor (Δ/2)for each j of vector M, do M(j)=I(S(j))+d(j,S(j)).
