Lecture

Cavity Method: Mean Field Theory

Description

This lecture covers the Cavity Method in the context of Mean Field Theory, focusing on neglecting correlations and analyzing the behavior of spins in an external field within a graph. The slides discuss the iterative process of the Cavity Method, the impact of external fields on spins, and the concept of neighbors in the graph. The lecture also delves into the application of the Cavity Method to spin glasses, exploring the convergence to fixed points and the role of belief propagation in information theory.
