Structured region graphs: Morphing EP into GBP

GBP and EP are two successful algorithms for approximate probabilistic inference, which are based on different approximation strategies. An open problem in both algorithms has been how to choose an appropriate approximation structure. We introduce \structured region graphs," a formalism which m...
