Entropy and Belief Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The product expansion of conditional prob abilities for belief nets is not maximum en tropy. This appears to deny a desirable kind of assurance for the model. However, a kind of guarantee that is almost as strong as max imum entropy can be derived. Surprisingly, a variant model also exhibits the guarantee, and for many cases obtains a higher perfor mance score than the product expansion.

Entropy-based Serviceability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks, Subjected to Natural and Man-Made Hazards
In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
متن کاملAn Entropy-driven System for Construction of Probabilistic Expert Systems from Databases
Kutat61 is a system that takes as input a database of cases and produces a belief net work that captures many of the dependence relations represented by those data. This system incorporates a module for determining the entropy of a belief network and a module for constructing belief networks based on entropy calculations. Kutat6 constructs an initial belief network in which all variables in th...

متن کاملA New Uncertainty Measure for Belief Networks with Applications to Optimal Evidential Inferencing
ÐThis paper is concerned with the problem of measuring the uncertainty in a broad class of belief networks, as encountered in evidential reasoning applications. In our discussion, we give an explicit account of the networks concerned, and coin them the Dempster-Shafer (D-S) belief networks. We examine the essence and the requirement of such an uncertainty measure based on welldefined discrete e...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Learning with Deep Belief Networks
Conventionally, the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion is applied to train a deep belief network (DBN). We present a maximum entropy (ME) learning algorithm for DBNs, designed specifically to handle limited training data. Maximizing only the entropy of parameters in the DBN allows more effective generalization capability, less bias towards data distributions, and robustness to over-fitting compa...
