Enhanced Probabilistic Inference Algorithm Using Probabilistic Neural Networks for Learning Control

Probabilistic Inference for Fast Learning in Control

How can we learn control tasks as fast as possible given knowledge from experience only? •autonomous learning in control from scratch using experience only (no demonstrations) •no task-specific prior assumptions • learn fast (data efficient) model-based RL •deal with model bias during long-term planning: only small data sets available for learning dynamics models 1 Key Idea and Algorithm • lear...

Using Reinforcement Learning for Probabilistic Program Inference

Inference in probabilistic programming often involves choosing between different methods. For example, one could use different algorithms to compute a conditional probability, or one could sample variables in different orders. Researchers have taken a variety of approaches to handle the array of choices. Mansinghka [1] advocates meta-programming, in which a user guides the solution interactivel...

Tractable Learning and Inference for Large-Scale Probabilistic Boolean Networks

Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBNs) have been previously proposed so as to gain insights into complex dynamical systems. However, identification of large networks and of the underlying discrete Markov Chain which describes their temporal evolution, still remains a challenge. In this paper, we introduce an equivalent representation for the PBN, the Stochastic Conjunctive Normal Form (SCNF), wh...

Persian Handwritten Digit Recognition Using Particle Swarm Probabilistic Neural Network

Handwritten digit recognition can be categorized as a classification problem. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is one of the most effective and useful classifiers, which works based on Bayesian rule. In this paper, in order to recognize Persian (Farsi) handwritten digit recognition, a combination of intelligent clustering method and PNN has been utilized. Hoda database, which includes 80000 P...
