exact inference is fundamental. it also still has practical utility.

other keywords: belief propagation, sum product, elimination algorithm

Hi dustinvtran,

I was wondering whether there is any update on implementation of exact inference (belief propagation, junction tree algo) for discrete random variables since you have last opened this issue?

best, M

We won't get to this in Edward, but may in Edward2 (https://github.com/tensorflow/probability) as we're working on conjugacy.
