PAC-Bayesian learning methods combine the informative priors of Bayesian methods with distribution-free PAC guarantees. Stochastic model selection predicts a class label by stochastically sampling a classifier according to a posterior distribution on classifiers. This paper gives a PAC-Bayesian performance guarantee for stochastic model selection that is superior to analogous guarantees for deterministic model selection. The guarantee is stated in terms of the training error of the stochastic classifier and the KL-divergence of the posterior from the prior. It is shown that the posterior optimizing the performance guarantee is a Gibbs distribution. Simpler posterior distributions are also derived that have nearly optimal performance guarantees. 相似文献

The modal logic LL was introduced by Halpern and Rabin as a means of doing qualitative reasoning about likelihood. Here the relationship between LL and probability theory is examined. It is shown that there is a way of translating probability assertions into LL in a sound manner, so that LL in some sense can capture the probabilistic interpretation of likelihood. However, the translation is subtle; several more obvious attempts are shown to lead to inconsistencies. We also extend LL by adding modal operators for knowledge. This allows us to reason about the interaction between knowledge and likelihood. The propositional version of the resulting logic LLK is shown to have a complete axiomatization and to be decidable in exponential time, provably the best possible. 相似文献

This paper gives PAC guarantees for Bayesian algorithms—algorithms that optimize risk minimization expressions involving a prior probability and a likelihood for the training data. PAC-Bayesian algorithms are motivated by a desire to provide an informative prior encoding information about the expected experimental setting but still having PAC performance guarantees over all IID settings. The PAC-Bayesian theorems given here apply to an arbitrary prior measure on an arbitrary concept space. These theorems provide an alternative to the use of VC dimension in proving PAC bounds for parameterized concepts. 相似文献

We investigate set constraints over set expressions with Tarskian functional and relational operations. Unlike the Herbrand constructor symbols used in recent set constraint formalisms, the meaning of a Tarskian function symbol is interpreted in an arbitrary first order structure. We show that satisfiability of Tarskian set constraints is decidable in nondeterministic doubly exponential time. We also give complexity results and open problems for various extensions and restrictions of the language. 相似文献

We introduce a probabilistic formalism handling both Markov random fields of bounded tree width and probabilistic context-free grammars. Our models are based on case-factor diagrams (CFDs) which are similar to binary decision diagrams (BDDs) but are more concise for circuits of bounded tree width. A probabilistic model consists of a CFD defining a feasible set of Boolean assignments and a weight (or cost) for each individual Boolean variable. We give versions of the inside–outside algorithm and the Viterbi algorithm for these models. 相似文献
