1. Robust Message-Passing for Distributed Inference (DISTIN)
Develop robust, efficient message-passing algorithms for effective inference, learning and control in wireless sensor networks and other distributed systems. These algorithms must perform the global inference and optimization tasks required by sensor network applications, while being robust to network losses and failures, and limiting communication and power requirements. Our efficient method is leveraged by powerful representation and inference approaches from probabilistic graphical models, and by novel networking and message passing algorithms (cross-layer optimizations) in a comprehensive study on the tradeoffs among delay, energy efficiency, accuracy (approximation rate), and computational complexity...
