DBN inference / parameter learning

Hey, I have a quick question regarding the algorithms used for learning and inference in DBNs. After reading these threads ( post 1 , post 2 ) my understanding is, that inference in SMILE is always based on the unrolled DBN and the selected algorithm for BNs (default: junction-tree). Parameter learn...

Re: MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Oh, you are right. second_training.xdsl was the wrong file. I have edited my previous post and uploaded the correct file. Sorry for the confusion. Were you able to reproduce the results?

Re: MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Please find attached my Java code. I had the same results when I performed parameter learning in the GeNIe GUI.

Re: MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Any idea why the initial parameters in the conditional probability tables still influence the learned parameters even though I am using "uniformize" = True ? What am I missing?

Re: MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Thanks for the insights. I will stay with numeric indices then. Checking again for other reasons, I found out that the observed difference is due to an issue in the learning procedure: I assumed by enabling "uniformize" (and disabling randomize), the previous parameters of the network did ...

Re: MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Great, thanks a lot for the fast clarification! Manually matching the variables works now. I did a quick test and compared a learned network in GENIE to the one learned in jSMILE . If there are no missing values, both networks will be identical. However, if I introduce missing values both networks d...

MatchNetwork for DBNs in jSMILE

Hey, I want to learn parameters of a DBN using JSMILE and I am a bit confused about the data format for the method matchNetwork of the class DataSet . I expected the naming convention to be similar to the one in Genie: A, A_1, A_2, B, B_1, B_2 as stated in this post . However, when I use the network...
