中文简介: | Infer.net是由Tom Minka、John Winn和其他人在Microsoft Cambridge上开发的一个高效、通用的推理引擎。它的目标是高效率、通用性和可扩展性——三个通常相互矛盾的目标。我们在很大程度上使用类似编译器的体系结构来实现这些目标,以便生成代码来执行所需的推理任务。Infer.net可以将一系列推理算法中的一种应用到给定的概率模型中,从而为比较不同算法的性能提供了一个有用的框架。在本文中,我将描述Infer.net的功能和基础结构,并给出将期望传播和变分消息传递应用于同一模型的示例。我还将描述我们为每个算法遇到的一些失败案例。 |
课程简介: | Infer.NET is an efficient, general-purpose inference engine developed at Microsoft Cambridge by Tom Minka, John Winn and others. It aims to be highly efficient, general purpose and extensible --- three normally contradictory goals. We have largely managed to achieve these goals using a compiler-like architecture, so that code is generated to perform the desired inference task. Infer.NET can apply one of a range of inference algorithms to a given probabilistic model, and so provides a useful framework for comparing the performance of different algorithms. In this talk, I will describe the capabilities and infrastructure of Infer.NET and give examples of applying both expectation propagation and variational message passing on the same model. I will also describe some failure cases that we have encountered for each algorithm. |
