arXiv:2606.05042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marginal inference in discrete graphical models forces a choice between exactness and scalability: exact algorithms are intractable for high-treewidth graphs, while iterative approximations (Belief Propagation, variational methods) sacrifice convergence guarantees on frustrated topologies. We argue that this dichotomy stems from a mismatched inductive bias: iterative methods abandon the sequential elimination structure that makes exact inference correct. We introduce In-Context Graphical Inference (ICG-I), an autoregressive Graph Transformer that
The increased prevalence of complex AI models and the critical need for efficient and accurate inference methods drive the development of new solutions like In-Context Graphical Inference.
Improving the efficiency and scalability of inference in graphical models can unlock more complex and advanced AI applications, impacting various fields from scientific discovery to autonomous systems.
The dichotomy between exactness and scalability in discrete graphical models may be overcome by autoregressive Graph Transformers, allowing for robust inference on difficult graph topologies.
