Anisotropic Distributions on Manifolds: Template Estimation and Most Probable Paths
We use anisotropic diffusion processes to generalize normal distributions to manifolds and to construct a framework for likelihood estimation of template and covariance structure from manifold valued data. The procedure avoids the linearization that arise when first estimating a mean or template before performing PCA in the tangent space of the mean. We derive flow equations for the most probab...
متن کاملOn the Robustness of Most Probable Explanations
In Bayesian networks, a Most Probable Explanation (MPE) is a complete variable instantiation with the highest probability given the current evidence. In this paper, we discuss the problem of finding robustness conditions of the MPE under single parameter changes. Specifically, we ask the question: How much change in a single network parameter can we afford to apply while keeping the MPE unchang...
متن کاملThe Most Probable Database Problem
This paper proposes a novel inference task for probabilistic databases: the most probable database (MPD) problem. The MPD is the most probable deterministic database where a given query or constraint is true. We highlight two distinctive applications, in database repair of key and dependency constraints, and in finding most probable explanations in statistical relational learning. The MPD probl...
متن کاملApproximating Standard Cell Delay Distributions by Reformulating the Most Probable Failure Point
The delay distribution of a digital circuit path is crucial for the early reliability evaluation of a digital design. As transistors are shrunk to unprecedented dimensions, accurate yet fast estimation of such distributions remains a valid goal. Such distributions may not be provided or are delivered in a heavily abstracted fashion to designers, which reduces the insight into design dependabili...
متن کاملOn inferring the most probable sentences in Bayesian logic
Vast literature and accumulating data in biomedicine creates a challenging problem. On the one hand, the literature and the curated ontologies, as a huge logical knowledge base, offer tremendous amount of raw factual knowledge. On the other hand, the biological data and its Bayesian probabilistic modeling bring in inherent uncertainty about models, model properties, or predictions. The fusion o...
