Approximate Learning of Dynamic Models
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a traversal over an entire long data sequence; furthermore, the data structures manipulated are exponentially large, making this process computationally expensive. In [2], we describe an approximate inference algorithm for monito...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Inference for Hierarchical Gaussian Markov Random Fields Models
Many commonly used models in statistics can be formulated as (Bayesian) hierarchical Gaussian Markov random field models. These are characterised by assuming a (often large) Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) as the second stage in the hierarchical structure and a few hyperparameters at the third stage. Markov chain Monte Carlo is the common approach for Bayesian inference in such models. The ...
متن کاملApproximate Inference in Probabilistic Models
We present a framework for approximate inference in probabilistic data models which is based on free energies. The free energy is constructed from two approximating distributions which encode different aspects of the intractable model. Consistency between distributions is required on a chosen set of moments. We find good performance using sets of moments which either specify factorized nodes or...
متن کاملApproximate Inference in Graphical Models
OF THE DISSERTATION Approximate Inference in Graphical Models By Sholeh Forouzan Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Irvine, 2015 Professor Alexander Ihler, Chair Graphical models have become a central paradigm for knowledge representation and reasoning over models with large numbers of variables. Any useful application of these models involves inference, or reaso...
متن کاملStructured Learning with Approximate Inference
In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is used in a learning algorithm, a good approximation of the score may not be sufficient. We show in particular that learning can fail even with an approximate inference method with rigorous approximation guarantees. There ...
