Title
Tightening LP Relaxations for MAP using Message Passing
Abstract
Linear Programming (LP) relaxations have become powerful tools for finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models. These relaxations can be solved eciently using message-passing algorithms such as belief propagation and, when the re- laxation is tight, provably find the MAP con- figuration. The standard LP relaxation is not tight enough in many real-world prob- lems, however, and this has lead to the use of higher order cluster-based LP relaxations. The computational cost increases exponen- tially with the size of the clusters and lim- its the number and type of clusters we can use. We propose to solve the cluster selec- tion problem monotonically in the dual LP, iteratively selecting clusters with guaranteed improvement, and quickly re-solving with the added clusters by reusing the existing solu- tion. Our dual message-passing algorithm finds the MAP configuration in protein side- chain placement, protein design, and stereo problems, in cases where the standard LP re- laxation fails.
