Monotonic Networks

چکیده

Monotonicity is a constraint which arises in many application domains. We present a machine learning model, the monotonic network, for which monotonicity can be enforced exactly, i.e., by virtue offunctional form . A straightforward method for implementing and training a monotonic network is described. Monotonic networks are proven to be universal approximators of continuous, differentiable monotonic functions. We apply monotonic networks to a real-world task in corporate bond rating prediction and compare them to other approaches.

شناسایی نقطه تغییر در بردار میانگین فرآیند نرمال دومتغیره با تغییرات مونوتونیک

  When a control chart shows an out-of-control condition, a search begins to identify and eliminate the root cause(s) of the process disturbance. The time when the disturbance has manifested itself to the process is referred to as change point. Identification of the change point is considered as an essential step in analyzing and eliminating the disturbance source(s) effectively. When a process...

Non-monotonic Hopfield Networks

We investigate the retrieval phase diagrams of an asynchronous fully-connected attractor network with non-monotonic transfer function by means of a mean-field approximation. We find for the noiseless zero-temperature case that this non-monotonic Hopfield network can store more patterns than a network with monotonic transfer function investigated by Amit et al. Properties of retrieval phase diag...

Modeling Protein Interaction Networks with Monotonic Answer Set Programming

In this paper, we propose the use of monotonic answer set programming (L-ASP) to model protein interaction networks. We study these networks using monotonic answer set programming, all the information represent in a Boolean network and establish a general LASP frame work which describes the network semantics, then we use it to describe a particular case.

On the flora of asynchronous locally non-monotonic Boolean automata networks

Boolean automata networks (BANs) are a well established model for regulation systems such as neural networks or gene regulation networks. Studies on the asynchronous dynamics of BANs have mainly focused on monotonic networks, where fundamental questions on the links relating their static and dynamical properties have been raised and addressed. This paper explores analogous questions on non-mono...

Exploiting Non-monotonic Influences in Qualitative Belief Networks

In a qualitative belief network, dependences between variables are indicated by qualitative signs. These signs serve to model monotonic probabilistic relationships only: non-monotonic relationships between variables are modelled as lack of information. In this paper, we propose to include information about non-monotonic probabilistic influences between variables explicitly in a qualitative beli...
