Lifted Probabilistic Inference for Asymmetric Graphical Models
Guy Van den Broeck, Mathias Niepert
Lifted probabilistic inference algorithms have been successfully applied to a large number of symmetric graphical models. Unfortunately, the majority of real-world graphical models…
Markov Chains on Orbits of Permutation Groups
Mathias Niepert
We present a novel approach to detecting and utilizing symmetries in probabilistic graphical models with two main contributions. First, we present a scalable approach to computing…
On the Conditional Independence Implication Problem: A Lattice-Theoretic Approach
Mathias Niepert, Dirk Van Gucht, Marc Gyssens
A lattice-theoretic framework is introduced that permits the study of the conditional independence (CI) implication problem relative to the class of discrete probability measures.…
Tractability through Exchangeability: A New Perspective on Efficient Probabilistic Inference
Mathias Niepert, Guy Van den Broeck
Exchangeability is a central notion in statistics and probability theory. The assumption that an infinite sequence of data points is exchangeable is at the core of Bayesian statist…
