Recent advances in imprecise-probabilistic graphical models

چکیده
We summarise and provide pointers to recent advances in inference and identification for specific types of probabilistic graphical models using imprecise probabilities. Robust inferences can be made in so-called credal networks when the local models attached to their nodes are imprecisely specified as conditional lower previsions, by using exact algorithms whose complexity is comparable to that for the precise-probabilistic counterparts.

Probabilistic Graphical Models and their Role in Databases
Probabilistic graphical models provide a framework for compact representation and efficient reasoning about the joint probability distribution of several interdependent variables. This is a classical topic with roots in statistical physics. In recent years, spurred by several applications in unstructured data integration, sensor networks, image processing, bio-informatics, and code design, the ...
متن کاملLikelihood-based inference for probabilistic graphical models: Some preliminary results
A method for calculating some profile likelihood inferences in probabilistic graphical models is presented and applied to the problem of classification. It can also be interpreted as a method for obtaining inferences from hierarchical networks, a kind of imprecise probabilistic graphical models.
متن کاملLearning from Imprecise Data: Possibilistic Graphical Models
Graphical models—especially probabilistic networks like Bayes networks and Markov networks—are very popular to make reasoning in highdimensional domains feasible. Since constructing them manually can be tedious and time consuming, a large part of recent research has been devoted to learning them from data. However, if the dataset to learn from contains imprecise information in the form of sets ...
متن کاملRule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks
One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
متن کاملProbabilistic Graphical Models
This report1 presents probabilistic graphical models that are based on imprecise probabilities using a comprehensive language. In particular, the discussion is focused on credal networks and discrete domains. It describes the building blocks of credal networks, algorithms to perform inference, and discusses on complexity results and related work. The goal is to present an easy-to-follow introdu...
