最大熵判别马尔可夫网络
Maximum Entropy Discrimination Markov Networks
摘要:
在本文中,我们提出了一个新的和通用的框架称为{ \it最大熵歧视马尔可夫网络}(MaxEnDNet),它集成了最大间距结构化学习和贝叶斯风格的估计,并结合和扩展它们的优点。该模型的主要创新之处在于:1)将现有的基于权值点估计的马尔可夫网络预测规则推广为贝叶斯式估计,该贝叶斯式估计在学习的权值分布上进行积分。2)它将传统的分类规则的最大熵判别学习扩展为一种新的学习马尔可夫网络分布的结构最大熵判别范式。3)它包括著名的和强大的最大余量马尔可夫网络(M $^3$ N)作为一个特殊的情况下,并导致一个模型类似于一个$L_1$ -正则化的M $^3$ N,同时是原始和对偶稀疏,或其他类型的马尔可夫网络插入不同的先验分布的权重。4)它提供了一个简单的推理算法,结合现有的变分推断和凸优化为基础的M $^3$ N求解器的子程序。5)它提供了一个PAC贝叶斯风格的泛化界。这项工作代表了将贝叶斯式学习(基于生成模型)与结构化最大边际学习(基于判别模型)相结合的第一次成功尝试,并且在合成和真实数据集上的结构化输入/输出学习方面优于各种竞争方法。
英文摘要:
In this paper, we present a novel and general framework called {\it Maximum Entropy Discrimination Markov Networks} (MaxEnDNet), which integrates the max-margin structured learning and Bayesian-style estimation and combines and extends their merits. Major innovations of this model include: 1) It generalizes the extant Markov network prediction rule based on a point estimator of weights to a Bayesian-style estimator that integrates over a learned distribution of the weights. 2) It extends the conventional max-entropy discrimination learning of classification rule to a new structural max-entropy discrimination paradigm of learning the distribution of Markov networks. 3) It subsumes the well-known and powerful Maximum Margin Markov network (M$^3$N) as a special case, and leads to a model similar to an $L_1$-regularized M$^3$N that is simultaneously primal and dual sparse, or other types of Markov network by plugging in different prior distributions of the weights. 4) It offers a simple inference algorithm that combines existing variational inference and convex-optimization based M$^3$N solvers as subroutines. 5) It offers a PAC-Bayesian style generalization bound. This work represents the first successful attempt to combine Bayesian-style learning (based on generative models) with structured maximum margin learning (based on a discriminative model), and outperforms a wide array of competing methods for structured input/output learning on both synthetic and real data sets.
