Abstract
This paper contains a survey of a new family of parallel iterative algorithms that allow for using context to improve the results obtained in separately classifying the units of a global set. The essential characteristic of these methods is that they transform the general exponential context problem in a tractable polynomial one, by looking for a continuous (stochastic) labeling rather than a discrete one.
