Designing Fast Absorbing Markov Chains
Markov Chains are a fundamental tool for the analysis of real world phenomena and randomized algorithms. Given a graph with some specified sink nodes and an initial probability distribution, we consider the problem of designing an absorbing Markov Chain that minimizes the time required to reach a sink node, by selecting transition probabilities subject to some natural regularity constraints. By...
متن کاملProbabilistic XML via Markov Chains
We show how Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) and their restrictions can define probabilistic distributions over XML documents, and study tractability of querying over such models. We show that RMCs subsume several existing probabilistic XML models. In contrast to the latter, RMC models (i) capture probabilistic versions of XML schema languages such as DTDs, (ii) can be exponentially more succinct...
متن کاملAn Interruptible Algorithm for Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains Short Title: Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an enormously large state space, but elementary sampling is ruled out by the infeasibility of calculating an appropriate normalizing constant. The same difficulty arises in computer science problems where one seeks to sam...
متن کاملFast and Slim Lifted Markov Chains
Metropolis-Hasting method allows for designing a reversible Markov chain P on a given graph G for a target stationary distribution π. Such a Markov chain may suffer from its slow mixing time due to reversibility. Diaconis, Holmes and Neal (1997) for the ring-like chain P , and later Chen, Lovasz and Pak (2002) for an arbitrary chain P provided an explicit construction of a non-reversible Markov...
متن کاملFast multilevel methods for Markov chains
This paper describes multilevel methods for the calculation of the stationary probability vector of large, sparse, irreducible Markov chains. In particular, several recently proposed significant improvements to the multilevel aggregation method of Horton and Leutenegger are described and compared. Furthermore, we propose a very simple improvement of that method using an over-correction mechanis...
