Efficient inference algorithms for near-deterministic systems

<p> This thesis addresses the problem of performing probabilistic inference in stochastic systems where the probability mass is far from uniformly distributed among all possible outcomes. Such <i>near-deterministic</i> systems arise in several real-world applications. For example,...
