Semester 1, 2019
due 11.59, Monday 10 June 2019
Probabilistic graphical models
Your task is to perform inference on a probabilistic graphical model (PGM) of boolean (i.e.
true/false) random variables.
There are two options available for this assignment, either:
Option 1 Implement code in Java/C/C++/Python to perform approximate inference using
one of the methods described in lectures (i.e. one from: rejection sampling; likelihood
weighted sampling; or Gibbs sampling). If you choose Option 1, you will need to use
the files provided that describe two Bayes Networks and a set of probabilistic queries
to solve. Your program must read/parse these files, create the Bayes network, and
compute values for each of the queries. You should submit your code and a 2-3 page
report of your findings.
Option 2 Perform exact inference on a PGM and also manually conduct approximate inference
and compare the results. If you choose Option 2 you only need to deal with one
(small) network, but you will need to compute the exact inference and also compute
approximate inference manually (i.e. generate random numbers, use these to generate
samples, count the samples, etc). You should submit a 2-3 page report of your working
and findings.
More details about each option appear below.
Option 1
You will need to parse an input text file that encodes the graph and the conditional probability
distributions for each variable (conditioned on its parents). The format of the file is given
代写graphical models作业、代做Java/C/C++/Python编程作业、代写PGM留学生作业
below. Your program must be able to parse any file of this format to create and populate
an internal data structure of the PGM. Two networks have been defined in this format and
can be downloaded from the Assignment 3 page in the MyUni course pages.
Your program must then prompt the user via the console (or read from redirected standard
input) for a single variable query, parse the query correctly and evaluate the conditional
probability distribution of the query variable, given the evidence. The result must be written
as two decimal values (corresponding to the values of P(QueryVar=true|...) and
P(QueryVar=false|...)) onto the standard output stream. For example:
0.872 0.128
Write your program in Java, C/C++ or Python. You may not use other source code for
this assignment, but you can make use of any libraries you like for reading and writing the
files and parsing the input. The sampling and inference procedure must be your own code.
Submission and Assessment for Option 1
For this Option you should submit your code and a pdf report of maximum 2-3 pages via
MyUni. The report should briefly describe the algorithm you have chosen to implement,
then provide a section with results. For each query, indicate the results obtained (i.e. the
conditional probability values for the query) using number of samples N, where N will take
values 10, 20, 50 and 100, set out in your report as in the table below.
n=10 n=20 n=50 n=100
Marks will be allocated according to the following rubric:
Code accuracy: 30 marks
Report coherence: 30 marks
Results: 40 marks
There are no marks for coding style per se, but if you code is poorly set out and/or unintelligible
(so that its accuracy of implementation is hard to assess) expect to be penalized.
Full marks will be awarded for clear, intelligible code, and the completeness and correctness
2
of the results as reported in the final submission. If you present results in your report that
have been generated in some way other than directly from your code, you must acknowledge
this and in the report set out clearly how you generated the results (e.g. exact inference).
If we determine that you have submitted results that cannot be produced using your code,
and you have not stated how you generated the results otherwise, you will automatically be
given zero marks and referred for academic dishonesty.
File format
The graphical model will be specified by a text file with format:
N is the number of random variables in the network;
rv are the random variable names (arbitrary alphanumeric strings);
mat are two dimensional arrays of real numbers (in ASCII) that specify the conditional
probability table of each random variable conditioned on its parents;
The matrix of zeros and ones specifies the directed arcs in the graph; a one (1) in the
i,j entry indicates there is an edge from i to j (so the ith variable is a parent of the
jth variable.
3
The format of the Conditional Probability Table matrices is a bit subtle. If a node has
m parents, then the matrix needs to specify the probability of each outcome (true, false)
conditioned on 2
m different combinations of parent values, so the matrix will be 2
m ×2 (rows
× columns). Treating true as 1, and false as 0, concatenate the values of the parents in
their numerical order from most significant bit to least significant bit (left to right) to create
a row index r. The entry in the first column, rth row is then the probability that the variable
is true given the values of the other variables (the entry in the corresponding 2nd column is
the probability that the variable is false). Thus, the first row of the matrix corresponds to
all parent variables taking the value false (r = 000 . . . 0), and the last row has all parents
true (r = 111 . . . 1).
For example if the variable A has parents C and F where C is the 3rd variable specified
and F is the 6th, then C, F = 00, 01, 10, 11 corresponds to row r = 0, 1, 2, 3 of the table.
The CPT entries for P(A|C,F) entries will be:
CPT entry
P(A=true|C=false,F=false) P(A=false|C=false,F=false)
P(A=true|C=false,F=true) P(A=false|C=false,F=true)
P(A=true|C=true,F=false) P(A=false|C=true,F=false)
P(A=true|C=true,F=true) P(A=false|C=true,F=true)
For another example, check out the Bayes Net in Figure 1. This network is represented
in the format above in the studentnetwork.txt file provided for the Assignment.
The format of the query, entered via the console (or read from redirected standard input)
is:
P(rvQ | rvE1=val, rvE2=val, ...)
where rvQ is the name of the query variable, and rvEx are the names of the evidence variables
with their respective true/false values specified. As is normal in Bayesian inference, variables
not included are unobserved and should be marginalised out.
Option 2
For Option 2 there is no need to code, but you will need to work through the algorithm(s)
manually on paper. The network below in Figure 1 is a graphical representation of the smaller
network used in Option 1. It shows the conditional probability relationships between variables
S (Sick), P (Pub), H (Headache), L (Lecture) and D (Doctor) which capture conditional
probabilities relating whether or not a student has a Headache to whether they are Sick,
4
whether they went to the Pub last night, whether they go to the 9am Lecture or not and
whether they visit a Doctor.
Figure 1: A Bayes Net representing the conditional relationships between illness, lecture
attendance, pub and doctor visits
The queries you must solve are:
P(Sick | Lecture=true, Doctor=true)
P(Sick | Doctor=false)
P(Pub | Lecture=false)
P(Pub | Lecture=false, Doctor=true)
You must produce exact results for the first two, and both exact and approximate results (by
sampling) for the third and fourth queries. You will need to conduct manual sampling by any
method you choose to generate the approximate results. For the exact results: Undergrads
can choose any exact inference method; Postgrads will be eligible for full marks only if the
exact results are generated using variable elimination (see Assessment below).
To “implement” your manual sampling procedure you will need generate a set of random
samples. For example, for the first query you will need to generate 3 random true/false values
5
(for Sick, Headache and Pub) for each sample.1 You can do this by tossing a coin, but since
you’ll have to generate 3 values for each sample, this could get dull and time-consuming.
Instead I suggest you visit a website such as https://www.random.org/integers/, generate a
list of integers between 0 and 100, and treat values greater than 50 as true and less than or
equal to 50 as false. For the first query, if you decide to generate 20 samples, you’ll need 60
random values (3 per sample). For the second query you’ll need 80 (4 per sample).
Submission and Assessment
For this Option you should submit a pdf report of maximum 2-3 pages via MyUni. The
report should briefly describe the algorithm you have chosen to implement, provide your
exact working for each query, and a table showing the results for each. I recommend you
tabulate results for 10 samples and for 20 samples and compare these to the exact results.
Marks will be allocated according to the following rubric:
Exact results and corresponding working: 30 marks
Approximate inference results (with working): 40 marks
Report coherence including description of approximate inference algorithm used: 30
marks
As noted above, Postgraduates are expected to use variable elimination to generate their
exact results. If a postgrad chooses not to use variable elimination they can achieve up to
15/30 on that component. Full marks will be awarded for complete and correct results, and a
coherent description of the sampling method used. If you present results in your report that
are inconsistent with the sampling method you have attempted, and you do not acknowledge
this in your report, you will automatically be given zero marks for the Assignment and referred
for academic dishonesty.
Due date and late submission policy
This assignment is due 11.55pm on Monday 10th June 2019. If your submission is late the
maximum mark you can obtain will be reduced by 25% per day (or part thereof) past the
due date or any extension you are granted.
1
If you choose rejection sampling you’ll need to generate true/false values for all five random variables,
and then reject any sample that does not match Lecture=false and Doctor=true
