Markov connected component fields
A new class of Gibbsian models with potentials associated to the connected components or homogeneous parts of images is introduced. For these models the neighbourhood of a pixel is not fixed as for Markov random fields, but given by the components which are adjacent to the pixel. The relationship to Markov random fields and marked point processes is explored and spatial Markov properties are es...
متن کاملLearning Heterogeneous Hidden Markov Random Fields
Hidden Markov random fields (HMRFs) are conventionally assumed to be homogeneous in the sense that the potential functions are invariant across different sites. However in some biological applications, it is desirable to make HMRFs heterogeneous, especially when there exists some background knowledge about how the potential functions vary. We formally define heterogeneous HMRFs and propose an E...
متن کاملLearning Causally Linked Markov Random Fields
We describe a learning procedure for a generative model that contains a hidden Markov Random Field (MRF) which has directed connections to the observable variables. The learning procedure uses a variational approximation for the posterior distribution over the hidden variables. Despite the intractable partition function of the MRF, the weights on the directed connections and the variational app...
متن کاملStructure Learning in Markov Random Fields
Scoring structures of undirected graphical models by means of evaluating the marginal likelihood is very hard. The main reason is the presence of the partition function which is intractable to evaluate, let alone integrate over. We propose to approximate the marginal likelihood by employing two levels of approximation: we assume normality of the posterior (the Laplace approximation) and approxi...
متن کاملLearning Symmetric Relational Markov Random Fields
Relational Markov Random Fields (rMRF’s) are a general and flexible framework for reasoning about the joint distribution over attributes of a large number of interacting entities, such as graphs, social networks or gene networks. When modeling such a network using an rMRF one of the major problems is choosing the set of features to include in the model and setting their weights. The main comput...
