A linear approximation method for probabilistic inference
نویسنده
چکیده
An approximation method is presented for probabilistic inference with continuous random variables. These problems can ari.se in many practical problems, in particular where there are "second order" probabilities. The approximation, based on the Gaussian influence diagram, iterates over linear approximations to the inference problem.

Extension of Cube Attack with Probabilistic Equations and its Application on Cryptanalysis of KATAN Cipher
Cube Attack is a successful case of Algebraic Attack. Cube Attack consists of two phases, linear equation extraction and solving the extracted equation system. Due to the high complexity of equation extraction phase in finding linear equations, we can extract nonlinear ones that could be approximated to linear equations with high probability. The probabilistic equations could be considered as l...
متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
متن کاملSome improvements of the spectral learning approach for probabilistic grammatical inference
Spectral methods propose new and elegant solutions in probabilistic grammatical inference. We propose two ways to improve them. We show how a linear representation, or equivalently a weighted automata, output by the spectral learning algorithm can be taken as an initial point for the Baum Welch algorithm, in order to increase the likelihood of the observation data. Secondly, we show how the inf...
متن کاملApproximation Methods for Solving the Equitable Location Problem with Probabilistic Customer Behavior
Location-allocation of facilities in service systems is an essential factor of their performance. One of the considerable situations which less addressed in the relevant literature is to balance service among customers in addition to minimize location-allocation costs. This is an important issue, especially in the public sector. Reviewing the recent researches in this field shows that most of t...
متن کاملVariational Probabilistic Inference and the Qmr-dt Database
We describe a variational approximation method for eecient inference in large-scale probabilistic models. Variational methods are deterministic procedures that provide approximations to marginal and conditional probabilities of interest. They provide alternatives to approximate inference methods based on stochastic sampling or search. We describe a variational approach to the problem of diagnos...
