TLDR
It is proved that the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width is NP-hard to solve exactly and an approximation algorithm with a provable performance guarantee is provided.

FAB-MAP: Probabilistic Localization and Mapping in the Space of Appearance

TL;DR: A probabilistic approach to the problem of recognizing places based on their appearance that can determine that a new observation comes from a previously unseen place, and so augment its map, and is particularly suitable for online loop closure detection in mobile robotics.

High-dimensional Ising model selection using ${\ell_1}$-regularized logistic regression

TL;DR: It is proved that consistent neighborhood selection can be obtained for sample sizes $n=\Omega(d^3\log p)$ with exponentially decaying error, and when these same conditions are imposed directly on the sample matrices, it is shown that a reduced sample size suffices for the method to estimate neighborhoods consistently.

High-dimensional Ising model selection using ℓ1-regularized logistic regression

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of estimating the graph associated with a binary Ising Markov random field is considered, where the neighborhood of any given node is estimated by performing logistic regression subject to an l 1-constraint.

Approximating discrete probability distributions with dependence trees

TL;DR: It is shown that the procedure derived in this paper yields an approximation of a minimum difference in information when applied to empirical observations from an unknown distribution of tree dependence, and the procedure is the maximum-likelihood estimate of the distribution.
