Large pseudocounts and L[subscript 2]-norm penalties are necessary for the mean-field inference of Ising and Potts models

The mean-field (MF) approximation offers a simple, fast way to infer direct interactions between elements in a network of correlated variables, a common, computationally challenging problem with practical applications in fields ranging from physics and biology to the social sciences. However, MF met...
