图模型作为块树图

Graphical Models as Block-Tree Graphs

Divyanshu Vats, Jose M. F. Moura

摘要:

我们引入块树图作为一个框架,用于导出图形模型上的高效算法。我们将块树图定义为树结构图,其中每个节点是节点的簇,使得图中的簇是不相交的。这与连接树不同,在连接树中,由边连接的两个集群总是至少有一个公共节点。当连接树相比,我们表明,构建块树图是更快的,找到最佳的块树图有一个小得多的搜索空间。将我们的块树图框架应用于图形模型,我们表明,对于某些图,例如,使用块树图进行推理的网格图在计算上比使用连接树更有效。对于具有边界条件的图形模型,块树图框架将边值问题转化为初值问题。对于高斯图形模型,块树图框架导致线性状态空间表示。由于图形模型的精确推理在计算上是难以处理的,我们建议使用生成块树来推导近似推理算法。实验结果表明,改进的性能,在使用生成块树与使用生成树近似估计高斯图形模型。

英文摘要:

We introduce block-tree graphs as a framework for deriving efficient algorithms on graphical models. We define block-tree graphs as a tree-structured graph where each node is a cluster of nodes such that the clusters in the graph are disjoint. This differs from junction-trees, where two clusters connected by an edge always have at least one common node. When compared to junction-trees, we show that constructing block-tree graphs is faster, and finding optimal block-tree graphs has a much smaller search space. Applying our block-tree graph framework to graphical models, we show that, for some graphs, e.g., grid graphs, using block-tree graphs for inference is computationally more efficient than using junction-trees. For graphical models with boundary conditions, the block-tree graph framework transforms the boundary valued problem into an initial value problem. For Gaussian graphical models, the block-tree graph framework leads to a linear state-space representation. Since exact inference in graphical models can be computationally intractable, we propose to use spanning block-trees to derive approximate inference algorithms. Experimental results show the improved performance in using spanning block-trees versus using spanning trees for approximate estimation over Gaussian graphical models.
