چکیده

Multilayer architectures such as those used in Bayesian belief networks and Helmholtz machines provide a powerful framework for representing and learning higher order statistical relations among inputs. Because exact probability calculations with these models are often intractable, there is much interest in finding approximate algorithms. We present an algorithm that efficiently discovers higher order structure using EM and Gibbs sampling. The model can be interpreted as a stochastic recurrent network in which ambiguity in lower-level states is resolved through feedback from higher levels. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm on benchmark problems.

Learning Bayesian Network Structure Using Genetic Algorithm with Consideration of the Node Ordering via Principal Component Analysis

‎The most challenging task in dealing with Bayesian networks is learning their structure‎. ‎Two classical approaches are often used for learning Bayesian network structure;‎ ‎Constraint-Based method and Score-and-Search-Based one‎. ‎But neither the first nor the second one are completely satisfactory‎. ‎Therefore the heuristic search such as Genetic Alg...

Learning Bayesian Network Structure using Markov Blanket in K2 Algorithm

‎A Bayesian network is a graphical model that represents a set of random variables and their causal relationship via a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)‎. ‎There are basically two methods used for learning Bayesian network‎: ‎parameter-learning and structure-learning‎. ‎One of the most effective structure-learning methods is K2 algorithm‎. ‎Because the performance of the K2 algorithm depends on node...

High-Dimensional Unsupervised Active Learning Method

In this work, a hierarchical ensemble of projected clustering algorithm for high-dimensional data is proposed. The basic concept of the algorithm is based on the active learning method (ALM) which is a fuzzy learning scheme, inspired by some behavioral features of human brain functionality. High-dimensional unsupervised active learning method (HUALM) is a clustering algorithm which blurs the da...

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...
