Loop Calculus introduced in [Chertkov, Chernyak '06] constitutes a new theoretical tool that expresses explicitly the symbol Maximum-A-Posteriori solution of a general statistical inference problem via a solution of the Belief Propagation, or Bethe-Pieirls, equations. This finding brought a new significance to the BP concept, which in the past was thought of as just a...
