Belief Propagation and LP Relaxation for Weighted Matching in General Graphs

Loopy belief propagation has been employed in a wide variety of applications with great empirical success, but it comes with few theoretical guarantees. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the max-product form of belief propagation for the weighted matching problem on general graphs. We sho...
