One of the key points in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) is the learning of the probabilistic graphical model used to guide the search: the richer the model the more ...
Graphical models are usually learned without regard to the cost of doing inference with them. As a result, even if a good model is learned, it may perform poorly at prediction, be...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
Markov networks are a common class of graphical models used in machine learning. Such models use an undirected graph to capture dependency information among random variables in a ...
We study graph estimation and density estimation in high dimensions, using a family of density estimators based on forest structured undirected graphical models. For density estim...
