چکیده
P robabilistic graphical models (PGMs) have become a popular tool for computational analysis of biological data in a variety of domains. But, what exactly are they and how do they work? How can we use PGMs to discover patterns that are biologically relevant? And to what extent can PGMs help us formulate new hypotheses that are testable at the bench? This Message sketches out some answers and illustrates the main ideas behind the statistical approach to biological pattern discovery.

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 کاملAn Empirical Evaluation of Algorithms for Computing Equilibria in Games for Approximate Inference in Large Dimensional Probabilistic Graphical Models
Work in graphical models for game theory typically borrows from results in probabilistic graphical models. In this work, we instead consider the opposite direction. By using recent advances in equilibrium computation, we propose game-theoretic inspired, practical methods to perform probabilistic inference. We perform synthetic experiments using several different classes of Ising models, in orde...
متن کاملModeling and Estimation of Discrete-Time Reciprocal Processes via Probabilistic Graphical Models
Reciprocal processes are acausal generalizations of Markov processes introduced by Bernstein in 1932. In the literature, a significant amount of attention has been focused on developing dynamical models for reciprocal processes. In this paper, we provide a probabilistic graphical model for reciprocal processes. This leads to a principled solution of the smoothing problem via message passing alg...
متن کاملSolving Sudoku Using Probabilistic Graphical Models
Sudoku is a popular number puzzle. Here, we model the puzzle as a probabilistic graphical model and drive a modification to the well-known sum-product and max-product message passing to solve the puzzle. In addition, we propose a Sudoku solver utilizing a combination of message passing and Sinkhorn balancing and show that as Sudoku puzzles become larger, the impact of loopy propagation does not...
