Abstract
We develop a new extension to the Mean-Field approximation for inference in graphical models which has advantages over other approximation schemes which have been proposed. The method is economical in its use of variational parameters and the approximating conditional distribution can be specified with direct reference to the dependence structure of the variables in the graphical model. We apply the method to sigmoid belief networks.
