The Fractional Belief Propagation (FBP) message updates keep arising in various contexts. In this lecture I will try to give an overview of some different ways to derive and motivate FBP .

Attendees may want to skim the following papers:

Wiegerinck, Heskes – Fractional Belief Propagation

Wainwright et al – A new class of upper bounds on the log partition function

Minka – Divergence measures and message passing
