Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_tree_algorithm not a great article, but the referenced literature is ok

Don't have much time to elaborate at the moment, but look up the "junction tree algorithm"- it's a way of performing inference in graph-structured statistical models. You think of edges as relationships between random variable (which are the nodes), and have the nodes communicate with each other until all the signals have propogated. Makes inference straightforward, though still exponential
