A Variational Approach to Parameter Estimation for Characterizing 2-D Cluster Variation Method Topographies
Alianna J. Maren
One of the biggest challenges in characterizing 2-D topographies is succinctly communicating the dominant nature of local configurations. In a 2-D grid composed of bistate units, t…
2-D Cluster Variation Method Free Energy: Fundamentals and Pragmatics
Alianna J. Maren
Despite being invented in 1951 by R. Kikuchi, the 2-D Cluster Variation Method (CVM), has not yet received attention. Nevertheless, this method can usefully characterize 2-D topogr…
Derivation of the Variational Bayes Equations
Alianna J. Maren
The derivation of key equations for the variational Bayes approach is well-known in certain circles. However, translating the fundamental derivations (e.g., as found in Beal's work…
Free Energy Minimization Using the 2-D Cluster Variation Method: Initial Code Verification and Validation
Alianna J. Maren
A new approach for general artificial intelligence (GAI), building on neural network deep learning architectures, can make use of one or more hidden layers that have the ability to…
