Field Theories for Learning Probability Distributions.
Imagine being shown N samples of random variables drawn independently from the same distribution. What can you say about the distribution? In general, of course, the answer is nothing, unless you have some prior notions about what to expect. From a Bayesian point of view one needs an a priori distribution on the space of possible probability distributions, which defines a scalar field theory. I...
متن کاملMethods of Data Analysis Learning probability distributions
One of the key problems in non-parametric data analysis is to infer good models of probability distributions, assuming we are given as data a finite sample from that distribution. This problem is ill-posed for continuous distributions, even when they are low-dimensional: with finite data, there is no way to distinguish between (or exclude) distributions that are not regularized a priori, for ex...
متن کاملOn Probability Distributions for Trees: Representations, Inference and Learning
We study probability distributions over free algebras of trees. Probability distributions can be seen as particular (formal power) tree series [BR82; EK03], i.e. mappings from trees to a semiring K. A widely studied class of tree series is the class of rational (or recognizable) tree series which can be defined either in an algebraic way or by means of multiplicity tree automata. We argue that ...
متن کاملPerformance guarantees for kernel-based learning on probability distributions∗
In this talk I will present a novel result concerning the theory of distribution regression (DR). The DR problem addresses regression to vector-valued outputs from probability measures. Many important machine learning and statistical tasks fit into this framework, including multi-instance learning, and point estimation problems without analytical solution. Despite the large number of available ...
