Tensor networks contraction and the belief propagation algorithm

Belief propagation is a well-studied message-passing algorithm that runs over graphical models and can be used for approximate inference and approximation of local marginals. The resulting approximations are equivalent to the Bethe-Peierls approximation of statistical mechanics. Here, we show how th...
