Mixing time for an epidemic model on graphs with external sources of infection
Wasiur R. KhudaBukhsh, Yangrui Xiang
We study the mixing time of a Susceptible--Infected--Susceptible (SIS) model on graphs with external sources of infection, which we refer to as the noisy SIS model. Under suitable…
RL in Markov Games with Independent Function Approximation: Improved Sample Complexity Bound under the Local Access Model
Junyi Fan, Yuxuan Han, Jialin Zeng +4
Efficiently learning equilibria with large state and action spaces in general-sum Markov games while overcoming the curse of multi-agency is a challenging problem. Recent works hav…
Can Uncertainty Management be Realized in a Finite Totally Ordered Probability Algebra?
Yang Xiang, Michael P. Beddoes, David L Poole
In this paper, the feasibility of using finite totally ordered probability models under Alelinnas's Theory of Probabilistic Logic [Aleliunas, 1988] is investigated. The general for…
Exploring Localization in Bayesian Networks for Large Expert Systems
Yang Xiang, David L. Poole, Michael P. Beddoes
Current Bayesian net representations do not consider structure in the domain and include all variables in a homogeneous network. At any time, a human reasoner in a large domain may…
Optimization of Inter-Subnet Belief Updating in Multiply Sectioned Bayesian Networks
Yang Xiang
Recent developments show that Multiply Sectioned Bayesian Networks (MSBNs) can be used for diagnosis of natural systems as well as for model-based diagnosis of artificial systems.…
A Method for Implementing a Probabilistic Model as a Relational Database
Michael S. K. M. Wong, C. J. Butz, Yang Xiang
This paper discusses a method for implementing a probabilistic inference system based on an extended relational data model. This model provides a unified approach for a variety of…
