This is the wiki page for topics to be discussed in the Graphical Models Reading Group, starting Spring 2013.
We will hold informal meetings to discuss papers regarding Probabilistic Graphical Models(PGMs). The field is very expansive, and as such paper topics may include exact/approximate inference techniques in PGMs, variational methods, structure/parameter learning, interesting applications, and so on. Each weekly meeting will have a discussion leader who will both propose the paper to be discussed and get the discussion ball rolling for the meeting.

First meeting reading details
First meeting lead: John Halloran.
We'll be discussing a recent paper by Po-Ling Loh and Martin J Wainwright titled "Structure estimation for discrete graphical models: Generalized covariance matrices and their inverses" from NIPS 2012, where they prove conditions under which the (generalized)information matrix between jointly distributed discrete random variables denotes the edges in the corresponding graphical model of the random variables.
The paper is available here or click on its title in the above paragraph.
