Given a directed graphical model with binary-valued hidden nodes and real-valued noisy observations, consider deciding upon the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) or the maximum posterior-marginal (MPM) assignment under the restriction that each node broadcasts only to its children exactly one single-bit message. We present a variational formulation, viewing the processing rules local to all nodes as degrees-of-freedom, that minimizes the loss in expected (MAP or MPM) performance subject to such online communication constraints. The approach leads to a novel message-passing algorithm to be executed offline, or before observations are realized, which mitigates the performance loss by iteratively coupling all rules in a manner implicitly driven by global statistics. We also provide (i) illustrative examples, (ii) assumptions that guarantee convergence and efficiency and (iii) connections to active research areas.
Due to the simulation time of the reference input set, architects often use alternative simulation techniques. Although these alternatives reduce the simulation time, what has not been evaluated is their accuracy rela...

This paper shows how information gets created, stored and dissipated in statistical inference problems and points out how historical information, and information relevant to estimating the present and future, must be treated differently. A fundamental understanding of how information and energy flows is looked at in "networked" situations, and what the "laws" of conservation (dissipation) of information and energy flows might be. These ideas have implications in the study of the problem of stabilization over noisy communication channels.
As the costs and challenges of global clock distribution grow with each new microprocessor generation, a Globally Asynchronous, Locally Synchronous (GALS) approach becomes an attractive alternative. One proposed GALS ...
