This work introduces a Bayesian methodology for fitting large discrete graphical models with spike-and-slab priors to encode sparsity. We consider a quasi-likelihood approach that enables node-wise parallel computation resulting in reduced computational complexity. We introduce a scalable Langevin MCMC algorithm for sampling from the quasi-posterior distribution which enables variable selection and estimation simultaneously. We present extensive simulation results to demonstrate scalability and accuracy of the method. We also analyze the 16 Personality Factors (PF) dataset to illustrate performance of the method.
