摘要:

学习概率模型的一个严重问题是隐变量的存在。这些变量没有被观察到,但与几个观察到的变量相互作用。隐变量的检测有两个问题:确定隐变量与模型中其他变量的关系以及隐变量的状态数。在本文中,我们解决后一个问题的背景下,贝叶斯网络。我们描述了一种方法,利用分数为基础的凝聚状态聚类。正如我们所展示的,这种方法使我们能够有效地评估具有一系列隐藏变量基数的模型。我们将展示如何扩展这个过程来处理多个相互作用的隐变量。我们证明了这种方法的有效性,通过评估它的合成和现实生活中的数据。我们表明,我们的方法学习模型的隐变量,更好地推广,并有更好的结构比以前的方法。

英文摘要:

A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. Detecting hidden variables poses two problems: determining the relations to other variables in the model and determining the number of states of the hidden variable. In this paper, we address the latter problem in the context of Bayesian networks. We describe an approach that utilizes a score-based agglomerative state-clustering. As we show, this approach allows us to efficiently evaluate models with a range of cardinalities for the hidden variable. We show how to extend this procedure to deal with multiple interacting hidden variables. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by evaluating it on synthetic and real-life data. We show that our approach learns models with hidden variables that generalize better and have better structure than previous approaches.
