Graphical models for finite-dimensional spin glasses and
real-world combinatorial optimization and satisfaction
problems usually have an abundant number of short loops.
The cluster variation method and its extension, the region
graph method, are theoretical approaches for treating the
complicated short-loop-induced local correlations. For
graphical models represented by...

The behaviour of any physical system is governed by its
underlying dynamical equations. Much of physics is
concerned with discovering these dynamical equations and
understanding their consequences. It is perhaps surprising,
therefore, that identifying the underlying dynamical
equation from any amount of experimental data, however
precise, is a computationally hard problem (more...
