Quotes

• Graphical models are a marriage between graph theory and probability theory
• They clarify the relationship between neural networks and related network-based models such as HMMs, MRFs, and Kalman lters
• Indeed, they can be used to give a fully probabilistic interpretation to many neural network architectures
• Some advantages of the graphical model point of view
  • inference and learning are treated together
  • supervised and unsupervised learning are merged seamlessly
  • missing data handled nicely
  • a focus on conditional independence and computational issues
  • interpretability (if desired),
