From the jungle to the garden : growing trees for Markov chain Monte Carlo inference in undirected graphical models

In machine-learning, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) strategies such as Gibbs sampling are important approximate inference techniques. They use a Markov Chain mechanism to explore and sample the state space of a target distribution. The generated samples are then used to approximate the target di...
