Other Types of Local Structure

• Extensions of trees: Graphs

• Extensions of Noisy-or: Noisy-max, Causal independence

• Regression

• Neural nets

• Continuous representations, such as Gaussians

• To “plug in” a different representation, we need the following

  • Sufficient Statistics
  • Estimation of parameters
  • Marginal likelihood

Any type of representation that reduces the number

of parameters to fit
