DESCRIPTION:Infer.NET is a project underway at Microsoft Research to creat
 e a general-purpose software library for inference in graphical models.  T
 he project is heavily inspired by BUGS and VIBES.  However\, the main focu
 s of this library is efficient execution of deterministic message-passing 
 algorithms on large-scale models.\nI will describe some of the research ch
 allenges we face and how we are addressing them.\n
