Motivation Objective Introduction Maximum Entropy Joint PMF Extensions for More General Inference Problems Experimental Results Conclusions and Possible Extensions

N.Y.U.S.T.

Motivation maximum entropy (ME) joint probability mass

function (pmf) powerful and not require expression of conditional

independence the huge learning complexity has severely limited

the use of this approach

N.Y.U.S.T.

Objective propose an approach can quite tractable

learning extend to with mixed data

N.Y.U.S.T.

1. Introduction probability mass function (pmf) joint pmf, can compute a posteriori probabilities

for a single, fixed feature given knowledge of the remaining feature values statistical classification

with some feature values missing statistical classification for any (e.g., user-specified) discrete feature dimensions given

values for the other features generalized classification

N.Y.U.S.T.

1. Introduction Multiple Networks Approach Bayesian Networks Maximum Entropy Models Advantages of the Proposed ME Method ove

r BN’s

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.1 Multiple Networks Approach

multilayer perceptrons (MLP’s), radial basis functions, support vector machines one would train one network for each feature example: documents classification to multiple topics one network was used to make an individual yes/no decision for presence of each possible topic multiple networks approach

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.1 Multiple Networks Approach

several potential difficulties increased learning and storage complexities accuracy of inferences

ignores dependencies between features example:

network predict F1 = 1 and F2 = 1 respectively

but the joint event (F1=1, F2=1) has zero probability

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.2 Bayesian Networks

handles missing features and captures dependencies between the multiple features

joint pmf explicitly a product of conditional probability versatile tools for inference that have a convenient, i

nformative representation…

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.2 Bayesian Networks

several difficulties with BN explicitly conditional independence relations betwee

n features optimizing over the set of possible BN structures

sequential, greedy methods may be suboptimal sequential learning where to stop to avoid overfitting

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.3 Maximum Entropy Models

Cheeseman proposed maximum entropy (ME) joint pmf consistent with ar

bitrary lower order probability constraints powerful, allowing joint pmf to express general depe

ndencies between features

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.3 Maximum Entropy Models

several difficulties with ME difficult learning for estimating the ME

Ku and Kullback proposed an iterative algorithm, satisfies one constraint at a time, but cause violation of others

they only presented results for dimension N = 4 and J = 2 discrete values per feature

Peral cites complexity as the main barriers to using ME

N.Y.U.S.T.

1.4 Advantages of the Proposed ME Method over BN’s

these probabilities also depend on Γ, they can often be tractably computed
