Learning Introduction
So far, we assumed that the networks were given Where do the networks come from? Knowledge engineering with aid of experts Automated construction of networks Learn by examples or instances

Learning Introduction
Input: dataset of instances D={d[1],...d[m]} Output: Bayesian network Measures of success How close is the learned network to the original distribution Use distance measures between distributions Often hard because we do not have the true underlying distribution Instead, evaluate performance by how well the network predicts new unseen examples (“test data”) Classification accuracy How close is the structure of the network to the true one? Use distance metric between structures Hard because we do not know the true structure Instead, ask whether independencies learned hold in test data

Parameter Estimation Input Goal: Learn CPD parameters
Network structure Choice of parametric family for each CPD P(Xi|Pa(Xi)) Goal: Learn CPD parameters Two main approaches Maximum likelihood estimation Bayesian approaches
11
Biased Coin Toss Example
Coin can land in two positions: Head or Tail Estimation task Given toss examples x[1],...x[m] estimate P(H)= and P(T)=1- Assumption: i.i.d samples Tosses are controlled by an (unknown) parameter Tosses are sampled from the same distribution Tosses are independent of each other
12
Biased Coin Toss Example
Goal: find [0,1] that predicts the data well “Predicts the data well” = likelihood of the data given Example: probability of sequence H,T,T,H,H 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 L(D:)
13
Maximum Likelihood Estimator
Parameter that maximizes L(D:) In our example, =0.6 maximizes the sequence H,T,T,H,H 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 L(D:)
14
Maximum Likelihood Estimator
General case Observations: MH heads and MT tails Find maximizing likelihood Equivalent to maximizing log-likelihood Differentiating the log-likelihood and solving for we get that the maximum likelihood parameter is:
15
Sufficient Statistics
For computing the parameter of the coin toss example, we only needed MH and MT since MH and MT are sufficient statistics
16
Sufficient Statistics
A function s(D) is a sufficient statistics from instances to a vector in k if for any two datasets D and D’ and any we have Datasets Statistics
17
Sufficient Statistics for Multinomial
A sufficient statistics for a dataset D over a variable Y with k values is the tuple of counts <M1,...Mk> such that Mi is the number of times that the Y=yi in D Sufficient statistic Define s(x[i]) as a tuple of dimension k s(x[i])=(0,...0,1,0,...,0) (1,...,i-1) (i+1,...,k)
18
Sufficient Statistic for Gaussian
Gaussian distribution: Rewrite as sufficient statistics for Gaussian: s(x[i])=<1,x,x2>
19
Maximum Likelihood Estimation
MLE Principle: Choose that maximize L(D:) Multinomial MLE: Gaussian MLE:

MLE for Bayesian Networks
Parameters x0, x1 y0|x0, y1|x0, y0|x1, y1|x1 Data instance tuple: <x[m],y[m]> Likelihood X x0 x1 0.7 0.3 X Y Y X y0 y1 x0 0.95 0.05 x1 0.2 0.8 Likelihood decomposes into two separate terms, one for each variable
21
MLE for Bayesian Networks
Terms further decompose by CPDs: By sufficient statistics where M[x0,y0] is the number of data instances in which X takes the value x0 and Y takes the value y0 MLE
22
MLE for Bayesian Networks
Likelihood for Bayesian network if Xi|Pa(Xi) are disjoint then MLE can be computed by maximizing each local likelihood separately
23
MLE for Table CPD BayesNets
Multinomial CPD For each value xX we get an independent multinomial problem where the MLE is
24
MLE for Tree CPDs Assume tree CPD with known tree structure Y Z X
Terms for <y0,z0> and <y0,z1> can be combined Y y0 y1 Z x0|y0,x1|y0 z0 z1 Optimization can be done by leaves x0|y1,z1,x1|y1,z1 x0|y1,z1,x1|y1,z1
25
MLE for Tree CPD BayesNets
Tree CPD T, leaves l For each value lLeaves(T) we get an independent multinomial problem where the MLE is
26
Limitations of MLE Two teams play 10 times, and the first wins 7 of the 10 matches Probability of first team winning = 0.7 A coin is tosses 10 times, and comes out ‘head’ 7 of the 10 tosses Probability of head = 0.7 Would you place the same bet on the next game as you would on the next coin toss? We need to incorporate prior knowledge Prior knowledge should only be used as a guide
27
Bayesian Inference … Assumptions
Given a fixed tosses are independent If is unknown tosses are not marginally independent – each toss tells us something about The following network captures our assumptions X[1] X[M] X[2] …
28
For a uniform prior, posterior is the normalized likelihood
Bayesian Inference Joint probabilistic model Posterior probability over … X[1] X[2] X[M] Likelihood Prior For a uniform prior, posterior is the normalized likelihood Normalizing factor
29
Bayesian Prediction Predict the data instance from the previous ones
Solve for uniform prior P()=1 and binomial variable
30
Example: Binomial Data
Prior: uniform for in [0,1] P() = 1 P( |D) is proportional to the likelihood L(D:) MLE for P(X=H) is 4/5 = 0.8 Bayesian prediction is 5/7 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 (MH,MT ) = (4,1)
31
Dirichlet Priors A Dirichlet prior is specified by a set of (non-negative) hyperparameters 1,...k so that ~ Dirichlet(1,...k) if where and Intuitively, hyperparameters correspond to the number of imaginary examples we saw before starting the experiment
32
Dirichlet Priors – Example
5 Dirichlet(1,1) Dirichlet(2,2) 4.5 Dirichlet(0.5,0.5) Dirichlet(5,5) 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1
33
Dirichlet Priors Dirichlet priors have the property that the posterior is also Dirichlet Data counts are M1,...,Mk Prior is Dir(1,...k) Posterior is Dir(1+M1,...k+Mk) The hyperparameters 1,…,K can be thought of as “imaginary” counts from our prior experience Equivalent sample size = 1+…+K The larger the equivalent sample size the more confident we are in our prior
34
Effect of Priors Prediction of P(X=H) after seeing data with MH=1/4MT as a function of the sample size 0.15 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 0.4 0.45 0.5 0.55 20 40 60 80 100 0.1 0.6 Different strength H + T Fixed ratio H / T Fixed strength H + T Different ratio H / T
35
Effect of Priors (cont.)
In real data, Bayesian estimates are less sensitive to noise in the data 0.7 MLE Dirichlet(.5,.5) Dirichlet(1,1) Dirichlet(5,5) Dirichlet(10,10) 0.6 0.5 P(X = 1|D) 0.4 0.3 0.2 N 0.1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 1 Toss Result N
36
General Formulation Joint distribution over D,
Posterior distribution over parameters P(D) is the marginal likelihood of the data As we saw, likelihood can be described compactly using sufficient statistics We want conditions in which posterior is also compact
37
Conjugate Families A family of priors P(:) is conjugate to a model P(|) if for any possible dataset D of i.i.d samples from P(|) and choice of hyperparameters for the prior over , there are hyperparameters ’ that describe the posterior, i.e., P(:’) P(D|)P(:) Posterior has the same parametric form as the prior Dirichlet prior is a conjugate family for the multinomial likelihood Conjugate families are useful since: Many distributions can be represented with hyperparameters They allow for sequential update within the same representation In many cases we have closed-form solutions for prediction
38
Bayesian Estimation in BayesNets
Bayesian network for parameter estimation Bayesian network X X … X[1] X[2] X[M] … Y Y[1] Y[2] Y[M] Y|X Instances are independent given the parameters (x[m’],y[m’]) are d-separated from (x[m],y[m]) given Priors for individual variables are a priori independent Global independence of parameters

41
Bayesian Estimation in BayesNets
Bayesian network for parameter estimation Bayesian network X X … X[1] X[2] X[M] … Y Y[1] Y[2] Y[M] Y|X=0 Y|X=1 Posteriors of can be computed independently For multinomial Xi|pai posterior is Dirichlet with parameters Xi=1|pai+M[Xi=1|pai],..., Xi=k|pai+M[Xi=k|pai]
42
Assessing Priors for BayesNets
We need the (xi,pai) for each node xi We can use initial parameters 0 as prior information Need also an equivalent sample size parameter M’ Then, we let (xi,pai) = M’ P(xi,pai|0) This allows to update a network using new data Example network for priors P(X=0)=P(X=1)=0.5 P(Y=0)=P(Y=1)=0.5 M’=1 Note: (x0)=0.5 (x0,y0)=0.25 X Y

Parameter Estimation Summary
Estimation relies on sufficient statistics For multinomials these are of the form M[xi,pai] Parameter estimation Bayesian methods also require choice of priors MLE and Bayesian are asymptotically equivalent Both can be implemented in an online manner by accumulating sufficient statistics MLE Bayesian (Dirichlet)
