First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. UPDATE: I acknowledge that I have read the author rebuttal. The authors propose a method for learning a mapping from input messages to the output message in the context of expectation propagation. The method can be thought of as a sort of compilation step, where there is a one-time cost of closely approximating the true output messages using important sampling, after which a neural network is trained to reproduce the output messages in the context of future inference queries. First, the authors should be commended for attacking a difficult and interesting problem.
