1 Outline Bayesian : in Singly Connected Huizhen u Dept. Computer Science, Uni. of Helsinki Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Form of Eidence and Notation We denote eidence (a finding) of X = {X, V } by e. Formally, we think of e as a function of x taking alues in {0, 1}, representing a statement that some elements of x are impossible, i.e., {x e(x) = 1} is the set of possible alues of x based on the eidence e. We also refer to this eent as e. We consider e that can be written in the factor form e(x) = V l (x ), where l (x ) {0, 1}. For A V, we use e A to denote the partial eidence of X A : e A (x A ) = A l (x ). Other short-hand notation we will use: p(x A & e) = P(X A = x A, e), p(x A & e A x B ) = P(X A = x A, e A X B = x B ) = P(X A = x A X B = x B ) e A (x A ), Motiation nce tasks we consider here: calculate p(x e), x and P(e) for P that is directed Marko w.r.t. a DAG G. Note that if we know P(e), then we can calculate the posterior probability of a single x gien e easily: p(x e) = p(x & e)/p(e) = p(x x pa() ) l (x ) /P(e). Since P(X = x, e) = p(x) e(x), in principle we can calculate P(X = x, e) = X P(X V \{} = x V \{}, X = x, e), x V \{} P(e) = X x V P(X = x, e). But such calculation is not easy in most problems when V is large. The function p(x e) is referred to as the belief of x. and p(x A e) denotes the conditional PMF of X A gien the eent e.

2 Features of the Algorithms to be Introduced Outline In the algorithms to be introduced, the DAG G is treated also as the architecture for distributed computation: Nodes: associated with autonomous processors Edges: communication links between processors The independence relations represented by the DAG are exploited to separate the total eidence into pieces and streamline the computation. The algorithms hae performance guarantee on DAGs with simple structures G has no loops. But they hae also been used successfully as approximate inference algorithms on loopy graphs. Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Eidence Structure in a Chain Suppose G is a chain. Consider a ertex with parent u and child w: e u + u w e We write e as three pieces of eidence, e = (e u +, e, e ), where e u +: partial eidence of X an() e : partial eidence of X e : partial eidence of X de() We want to compute p(x & e) = P(X = x, e) for all x. Since we hae P(X an(), X, X de() ) = P(X an() ) P(X X u) P(X de() X ), p`(, x ) & e) = p( & e u +) p(x & e ) p(e x ). If can get the first and third terms from u and w respectiely, then can calculate its marginal p(x & e) by summing oer. Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 If node receies Message Passing in a Chain from parent u the probabilities of and partial eidence e u + on u s side: π u, () = p( & e u +), ; from child w the likelihoods of x based on the partial eidence e on w s side: λ w, (x ) = p(e x ), x, then node can calculate p(x & e) = X π u, () p(x ) l (x ) λ w, (x ), x. What u and w need from in order to calculate their marginal probabilities? Parent u needs for all, the likelihood of based on e u = (e, e ): λ,u() = p(e u ) = X x p(x & e ) p(e x ) = X x p(x ) l (x ) λ w, (x ). Child w needs for all x, the probability of x and e + = (e u +, e ): π,w (x ) = p(x & e +) = X π u, () p(x ) l (x ). Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25

Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Eidence Structure in a Rooted Tree Suppose G is a rooted tree. Then G m = G. Consider a ertex with parent u and children w 1,..., w m: We write the total eidence e as seeral pieces of eidence, where e = (e nd(), e, e Tw1,..., e Twm ), e nd() : partial eidence of X nd() e : partial eidence of X e Tw, w ch(): partial eidence of the ariables associated with the subtree T w rooted at w, i.e., X {w} de(w) Since e nd() e Tw1 P(X nd(), X, X de() ) = P(X nd() ) P(X X u) p`(, x ) & e = p( & e nd() ) p(x & e ) w 1 u w m P(X Tw X ), p(e Tw x ).

Parent u needs the likelihoods of based on e T for all : λ,u() = X p(x & e ) p(e Tw x ) x = X x p(x ) l (x ) Child w needs for all x, the probability of x and «e nd(w) = e nd(), e Tw : λ w, (x ). π,w (x ) = p(x & e nd(w) ) = p( & e nd() ) p(x & e ) p(e Tw x ) = π u, () p(x ) l (x ) end() etw 1 w1 λ w, (x ). u wm Each node sends to its parent u Algorithm Summary λ,u() = X x p(x ) l (x ) sends to its child w π,w (x ) = π u, () p(x ) l (x ) when receiing all messages, calculates p(x & e) = π u, () p(x ) l (x ) λ w, (x ), ; P(e) = X x p(x & e), p(x e) = p(x & e)/p(e). λ w, (x ), x ; λ w, (x ) x, Message passing schemes: (i) Each node can send a message to a linked node if it has receied messages from all the other linked nodes. (ii) Each node can send updated messages to linked nodes wheneer it gets a new message from some node. Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Huizhen u (U.H.) Bayesian : in Singly Connected Feb / 25 Illustration of Parallel Updating From J. Peal s book, 1988: At time 0, each node of the tree has calculated its own marginal. At time 1, two new pieces of eidence arrie and trigger new messages. After time 5, all nodes hae updated their marginals incorporating the new eidence.

5 Definition of a Singly Connected Network Eidence Structure in a Singly Connected Network Definition: a DAG G is singly connected, if its undirected ersion G is a tree. Such a G is also called a polytree. For a sub-polytree T, denote X T : the ariables associated with nodes in T etu 1 u1 un In a polytree G: e T : the partial eidence of X T Each node can hae multiple parents and children. We hae w1 wm But there is only one trail between each pair of nodes. P(X Tu1,..., X Tun ) = P(X Tu1 ) P(X Tun ), and etw 1 Consider a ertex with parents u 1,... u n and children w 1,..., w m. When is iewed as the center, the branch of the polytree containing one of its parents or children is a sub-polytree. Denote T ui, i = 1..., n: the sub-polytree containing the node u i, resulting from remoing the edge (u i, ); Huizhen u T wi, i = 1,..., m: the sub-polytree containing the node w i, resulting Dept. Computer Science, Uni. of Helsinki from remoing the edge (, w i). Huizhen u (U.H.)

P(X i = 1) = p i, P( i = 1 X i = 0) = 0, P( i = 1 X i = 1) = 1 q i.

Similarly, express π i, (y i) as ˆ π i, (1), π i, (0) : π i, (y i) = X π Xi, i (x i)p(y i x i), so π i, = ˆ p i(1 q i), p. iq i+(1 p i) x i {0,1} Example of Noisy-Or Gate Suppose e : { = 1} is receied.

7 Generalizations and Further Reading Find most probable configurations: max x p(x & e) : G is not a tree. We condition on certain ariables to create seeral singly connected networks and then fuse together the calculated results. Loopy belief propagation: G is not a tree, but we apply the message passing algorithm any way. Algorithm ariants and conergence analysis are actie research topics. Further reading: 1. Judea Pearl.
