Implementation and Performance of Probabilistic Inference Pipelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to handle real-world problems, state-of-the-art probabilistic logic and learning frameworks, such as ProbLog, reduce the expensive inference to an efficient Weighted Model Counting. To do so ProbLog employs a sequence of transformation steps, called an inference pipeline. Each step in the probabilistic inference pipeline is called a pipeline component. The choice of the mechanism to implement a component can be crucial to the performance of the system. In this paper we describe in detail different ProbLog pipelines. Then we perform a empirical analysis to determine which components have a crucial impact on the efficiency. Our results show that the Boolean formula conversion is the crucial component in an inference pipeline. Our main contributions are the thorough analysis of ProbLog inference pipelines and the introduction of new pipelines, one of which performs very well on our benchmarks.

Implementation of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (Anfis) for Performance Prediction of Fuel Cell Parameters
Fuel cells are potential candidates for storing energy in many applications; however, their implementation is limited due to poor efficiency and high initial and operating costs. The purpose of this research is to find the most influential fuel cell parameters by applying the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The ANFIS method is implemented to select highly influential parame...

An Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
متن کاملImplementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference
In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...
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...
