Bayesian classification is a statistical classification method that uses Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability of class membership. It provides probabilistic predictions by calculating the probabilities of classes for new data based on training data. The naive Bayesian classifier is a simple Bayesian model that assumes conditional independence between attributes, allowing faster computation. Bayesian belief networks are graphical models that represent dependencies between variables using a directed acyclic graph and conditional probability tables.

This document discusses Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. GMMs model data as coming from a mixture of Gaussian distributions, with each data point assigned soft responsibilities to the different components. EM is used to estimate the parameters of GMMs and other latent variable models. It iterates between an E-step, where responsibilities are computed based on current parameters, and an M-step, where new parameters are estimated to maximize the expected complete-data log-likelihood given the responsibilities. EM converges to a local optimum for fitting GMMs to data.

Temporal-difference (TD) learning combines ideas from Monte Carlo and dynamic programming methods. It updates estimates based in part on other estimates, like dynamic programming, but uses sampling experiences to estimate expected returns, like Monte Carlo. TD learning is model-free, incremental, and can be applied to continuing tasks. The TD error is the difference between the target value and estimated value, which is used to update value estimates through methods like Sarsa and Q-learning. N-step TD and TD(λ) generalize the idea by incorporating returns and eligibility traces over multiple steps.

Regularization helps address the problem of overfitting in machine learning models. It works by adding parameters to the cost function that penalize high values for the model's coefficients, which encourages simpler models that generalize better to new data. Regularization can be applied to both linear and logistic regression by modifying the cost function and using gradient descent or the normal equation to find the optimal parameters that minimize the new regularized cost function. The regularization parameter controls the tradeoff between model complexity and fitting the training data.
This document summarizes a chapter on perception in artificial intelligence. It discusses how perception provides information about the world through sensors. There are two main approaches to perception - feature extraction and model-based. Feature extraction detects key features in sensory input while model-based reconstructs a model of the world from sensory stimuli. The chapter then covers topics like image formation, image processing techniques including filtering, edge detection and segmentation. It also discusses representation and description of images as well as object recognition methods.
Thresholding is a technique for image segmentation where each pixel is classified as either foreground or background based on a threshold value. It can be used for images with light objects and a dark background by selecting a threshold that separates the intensities. More generally, multilevel thresholding can classify pixels into object classes or background based on multiple threshold values. Thresholding views segmentation as a test against a threshold function of pixel location and intensity. Global thresholding uses a single threshold across the image while adaptive thresholding uses local thresholds.
Bayesian learning allows systems to classify new examples based on a model learned from prior examples using probabilities. It reasons by calculating the posterior probability of a hypothesis given new evidence using Bayes' rule. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) hypothesis that best explains the evidence is selected. Naive Bayes classifiers make a strong independence assumption between attributes. They classify new examples by calculating the posterior probability of each class and choosing the class with the highest value. Overfitting can occur if the learned model is too complex for the data. Model selection aims to avoid overfitting by evaluating models on separate training and test datasets.

Convolutional neural networks apply convolutional layers and pooling layers to process input images and extract features, followed by fully connected layers to classify images. Convolutional layers convolve the image with learnable filters to detect patterns like edges or shapes, while pooling layers reduce the spatial size to reduce parameters. The extracted features are then flattened and passed through fully connected layers like a regular neural network to perform classification with a softmax output layer. Dropout regularization is commonly used to prevent overfitting.

Multiplex Networks: structure and dynamicsEmanuele Cozzo
This document discusses the formal representation and analysis of multiplex networks. It begins by introducing complex networks science and the concept of abstracting real-world systems as graphs to study structure and interactions. It then defines multiplex networks as networks with multiple types of interactions or relations between nodes that can be represented as multiple layer-graphs. The document provides formal definitions and representations of multiplex networks using concepts like participation graphs, layer-graphs, coupling graphs, and supra-adjacency matrices. It also discusses analyzing and coarse-graining multiplex networks through measures like structural metrics, walks, and quotient graphs.
This presentation is Part 2 of my September Lisp NYC presentation on Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Neural Nets. We will continue from where we left off by covering Convolutional Neural Nets (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Nets (RNN) in depth.
Time permitting I also plan on having a few slides on each of the following topics:
1. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
2. Differentiable Neural Computers (DNCs)
3. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)
Some code examples will be provided in Clojure.
After a very brief recap of Part 1 (ANN & RL), we will jump right into CNN and their appropriateness for image recognition. We will start by covering the convolution operator. We will then explain feature maps and pooling operations and then explain the LeNet 5 architecture. The MNIST data will be used to illustrate a fully functioning CNN.
Next we cover Recurrent Neural Nets in depth and describe how they have been used in Natural Language Processing. We will explain why gated networks and LSTM are used in practice.
Please note that some exposure or familiarity with Gradient Descent and Backpropagation will be assumed. These are covered in the first part of the talk for which both video and slides are available online.
A lot of material will be drawn from the new Deep Learning book by Goodfellow & Bengio as well as Michael Nielsen's online book on Neural Networks and Deep Learning as well several other online resources.

High-performance graph analysis is unlocking knowledge in computer security, bioinformatics, social networks, and many other data integration areas. Graphs provide a convenient abstraction for many data problems beyond linear algebra. Some problems map directly to linear algebra. Others, like community detection, look eerily similar to sparse linear algebra techniques. And then there are algorithms that strongly resist attempts at making them look like linear algebra. This talk will cover recent results with an emphasis on streaming graph problems where the graph changes and results need updated with minimal latency. We’ll also touch on issues of sensitivity and reliability where graph analysis needs to learn from numerical analysis and linear algebra.

2. Goal of This Unit
• We have seen that directed graphical models
specify a factorization of the joint distribution
over a set of variables into a product of local
conditional distributions
• We turn now to the second major class of
graphical models that are described by
undirected graphs and that again specify both
a factorization and a set of conditional
independence relations.
• We will talk Markov Random Field (MRF).
• No inference algorithms
• But more on modeling and energy function

8. What Is Markov Random Field (MRF)
• A Markov random field (MRF) has a set of
• Nodes
• Each node corresponds to a variable or group of
variables
• Links
• Each connects a pair of nodes.
• The links are undirected
• They do not carry arrows
• MRF is also known as
• Markov network, or (Kindermann and Snell, 1980)
• Undirected graphical model
8
10. 2. Conditional Independence Property
• In the case of directed graphs, we can test
whether a conditional independence (CI)
property holds by applying a graphical test
called d‐separation.
• This involved testing whether or not the paths
connecting two sets of nodes were ‘blocked’.
• The CI definition will not apply to MRF and
undirected graphical models (UGMs).
• But we will find alternative semantics of CI
property for MRF and UGMs.
10
11. CI Definition for UGM
• Suppose that in an UGM we identify three
sets of nodes, denoted A, B, and C,
• And we consider the CI property
• To test whether CI property is satisfied by a
probability distribution defined by a UGM
• We consider all possible paths that connect
nodes in set A to nodes in set B through C.
11
12. An Example of CI
• Every path from any
node in set A to any
node in set B passes
through at least one
node in set C.
• Consequently the
conditional
independence property
holds for any probability
distribution described by
this graph.
12
13. Markov Blanket
• The Markov blanket for a UGM
takes a particularly simple form,
• Because a node will be conditionally
independent of all other nodes
Markov Blanket
conditioned only on the
neighbouring nodes.
13
14. 3. Factorization Property
• It is a factorization rule for UGM
corresponding to the conditional
independence test.
• What is factorization?
• Expressing the joint distribution p(x) as a
product of functions defined over sets of
variables that are local to the graph.
• Remember the factorization rule in directed
graphs Product of factors
14
15. The Factorization Rule – Two nodes
• Consider two nodes xi and xj that are not
connected by a link
• Then these variables must be conditionally
independent given all other nodes in the graph.
• There is no direct path between the two nodes.
• And all other paths pass through nodes that are
observed, and hence those paths are blocked.
• This CI property can be expressed as
x{i,j} denotes the set x of all variables with xi and xj removed.
15
16. The Factorization Rule – All Nodes
• Extend the factorization of two nodes to
the joint distribution p(x) of all nodes
• It must be the product of a set of factors
• Each factor has some nodes Xc={xi … xj} that do
not appear in other factors
• In order for the CI property to hold for all possible
distributions belonging to the graph.
,
16
17. Clique
,
• How to find the set of {xc}?
• We need to consider a graph terminology:
clique
• It is a subset of the nodes in a graph such that
there exists a link between all pairs of nodes in
the subset.
• The set of nodes in a clique is fully connected.
17
19. An Example of Clique
• This graph has five cliques of two nodes
• {x1, x2}, {x2, x3}, {x3, x4}, {x4, x2}, {x1, x3}
• It has two maximal cliques Clique
• {x1, x2, x3}, {x2, x3, x4}
• The set {x1, x2, x3, x4} is
not a clique because of
the missing link
from x1 to x4.
Maximal Clique
19
20. Factorization by Maximal Clique
• We can define the factors in the
decomposition of the joint distribution to be
functions of the variables in the cliques.
,
• The set of nodes xC is a clique
• In fact, we can consider functions of the
maximal cliques, without loss of generality,
• Because other cliques must be subsets of maximal
cliques.
• The set of nodes xC is a maximal clique
20
21. The Factorization Rule
• Denote a clique by C and the set of
variables in that clique by xC.
• The joint distribution p(x) is written as a
product of potential functions C(xC) over
the maximal cliques of the graph
• The quantity Z, sometimes called partition
function, is a normalization constant and is
given by
21
23. Why Not Probability Function
for the Factorization Rule (2/2)
• Why potential function
but not probability function?
• It is all for flexibility
• We can define any function as we want
• But a little restriction (compared to probability)
has still to be made for potential function
C(xC).
• And note that the p(x) is still a probability
function
23
24. The Potential Function
• Potential function C(xC)
• C(xC) 0, to ensure that p(x) 0.
• Therefore it is usually convenient to express
them as exponentials
• E(xC) is called an energy function, and the
exponential representation is called the
Boltzmann distribution.
24
30. Modelling
• Because the noise level is small,
• There is a strong
correlation between
(noisy pixel)
xi and yi.
• We also know that
• Neighbouring pixels
xi and xj in an image
are strongly correlated.
xj
(noise‐free pixel)
30
32. Modelling – Energy Function (1/2)
• { xi , yi } energy function
• Expresses the correlation
between these variables
• −xiyi
• is a positive constant
• Why?
• Remember that
• A lower energy encouraging
a higher probability
• Low energy when xi and yi have the same sign
• Higher energy when they have the opposite sign
32
33. Modelling – Energy Function (2/2)
• { xi , xj } energy function
• Expresses the correlation
between these variables
• −xixj
• is a positive constant xj
• Why?
• Low energy when xi and xj have the same sign
• Higher energy when they have the opposite sign.
33
35. Modelling ‐ Total Energy Function (2/2)
• The complete energy function
for the model ,
(noisy pixel)
,
• We add an extra term hxi for each
pixel i in the noise‐free image.
• It has the effect of
• Biasing the model towards pixel
values that have one particular
(noise‐free pixel) sign in preference to the other

• Iterated Conditional Modes (ICM)

• Simply a coordinate‐wise gradient ascent algorithm

40. 5. Relation to Directed Graphs
• We have introduced two graphical
frameworks for representing probability
distributions, corresponding to directed and
undirected graphs
• It is instructive to discuss the relation
between these.
