本文提出了一种新的图形模型中边缘地图问题的任意时间算法。详细描述了该算法，研究了算法的复杂度和收敛速度，并讨论了该算法与前人理论结果的关系。结果表明，当模型的底层图树宽有界时，该算法以多项式时间运行，并且保证了在一定的计算资源内得到的上下界。对真实模型和合成模型的实验表明，该方法与Park和Darwiche的系统搜索方法相比具有较好的性能，特别是在地图变量多、树宽适中的情况下。

英文摘要：
  This paper presents a new anytime algorithm for the marginal MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is described in detail, its complexity and convergence rate are studied, and relations to previous theoretical results for the problem are discussed. It is shown that the algorithm runs in polynomial-time if the underlying graph of the model has bounded tree-width, and that it provides guarantees to the lower and upper bounds obtained within a fixed amount of computational resources. Experiments with both real and synthetic generated models highlight its main characteristics and show that it compares favorably against Park and Darwiche's systematic search, particularly in the case of problems with many MAP variables and moderate tree-width.
