机器学习 —— 概率图模型（Homework: Factors）

Talk is cheap, I show you the code

　　第一章的作业主要是关于PGM的因子操作。实际上，因子是整个概率图的核心。对于有向图而言，因子对应的是CPD（条件分布）；对无向图而言，因子对应的是势函数。总而言之，因子是一个映射，将随机变量空间映射到实数空间。因子表现的是对变量之间关系的一种设计。每个因子都编码了一定的信息。

　　因子的数据结构：

　　

 phi = struct('var', [3 1 2], 'card', [2 2 2], 'val', ones(1, 8));

　　在matlab中，因子被定义为一个结构体。结构体中有三个变量，分别是 var : variable, card : cardinate, val : value.这三个变量构成了因子表。其中，var 后面是变量名 X_3，X_2,X_1. card 是每个变量所对应的取值范围。[2 2 2]表示这三个变量都是二值变量。如果是骰子，则应该写成[6 6 6]。val 后面接的是一个列向量。该向量的长度应该为 prod(card).

1、因子相乘

　　两个Scope相同或不同或部分不同的因子可以相乘，称为因子联合。对于有向图而言，因子相乘就是贝耶斯的链式法则。对于无向图而言，因子相乘就是合并两个相似的信息。因子相乘的原则是能够冲突，也就是只有对应项相乘（因子都是表）。

 % FactorProduct Computes the product of two factors.
 %   C = FactorProduct(A,B) computes the product between two factors, A and B,
 %   where each factor is defined over a set of variables with given dimension.
 %   The factor data structure has the following fields:
 %       .var    Vector of variables in the factor, e.g. [1 2 3]
 %       .card   Vector of cardinalities corresponding to .var, e.g. [2 2 2]
 %       .val    Value table of size prod(.card)
 %
 %   See also FactorMarginalization.m, IndexToAssignment.m, and
 %   AssignmentToIndex.m
 
 function C = FactorProduct(A, B)
 %A = struct('var', [1], 'card', [2], 'val', [0.11, 0.89]);
 %B = struct('var', [2, 1], 'card', [2, 2], 'val', [0.59, 0.41, 0.22, 0.78]);
 % Check for empty factors
 if (isempty(A.var)), C = B; return; end;
 if (isempty(B.var)), C = A; return; end;
 
 % Check that variables in both A and B have the same cardinality
 [dummy iA iB] = intersect(A.var, B.var);
 if ~isempty(dummy)
     % A and B have at least 1 variable in common
     assert(all(A.card(iA) == B.card(iB)), 'Dimensionality mismatch in factors');
 end
 
 % Set the variables of C
 C.var = union(A.var, B.var);
 
 % Construct the mapping between variables in A and B and variables in C.
 % In the code below, we have that
 %
 %   mapA(i) = j, if and only if, A.var(i) == C.var(j)
 %
 % and similarly
 %
 %   mapB(i) = j, if and only if, B.var(i) == C.var(j)
 %
 % For example, if A.var = [3 1 4], B.var = [4 5], and C.var = [1 3 4 5],
 % then, mapA = [2 1 3] and mapB = [3 4]; mapA(1) = 2 because A.var(1) = 3
 % and C.var(2) = 3, so A.var(1) == C.var(2).
 
 [dummy, mapA] = ismember(A.var, C.var);
 [dummy, mapB] = ismember(B.var, C.var);
 
 % Set the cardinality of variables in C
 C.card = zeros(1, length(C.var));
 C.card(mapA) = A.card;
 C.card(mapB) = B.card;
 
 % Initialize the factor values of C:
 %   prod(C.card) is the number of entries in C
 C.val = zeros(1, prod(C.card));
 
 % Compute some helper indices
 % These will be very useful for calculating C.val
 % so make sure you understand what these lines are doing.
 assignments = IndexToAssignment(1:prod(C.card), C.card);
 indxA = AssignmentToIndex(assignments(:, mapA), A.card);
 indxB = AssignmentToIndex(assignments(:, mapB), B.card);
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 % YOUR CODE HERE:
 % Correctly populate the factor values of C
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 for i = 1:size(indxA)
     C.val(i) = A.val(indxA(i))*B.val(indxB(i));
 end
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
 end

2、变量边际化

　　变量边际化是概率图模型的核心操作，其目的是消除其他变量，获得单个变量的边缘分布。例如有CPD:  struct('var', [3 1 2], 'card', [2 2 2], 'val', ones(1, 8)), 如果我们需要知道x_1 最本质的分布，则需要对x_2,x_3进行边际化操作。变量边际化最大的难点在于算法。比如要边际 x_2，那么应该把x_1,x_3取值相同的组合求和。此函数用了一个巧妙的方法来解决：先由var 求assignment,之后抽去assignment里需要消除的变量所对应列，在将assignment转成index.此时index里数字相同的编码就是需要求和的。

 % FactorMarginalization Sums given variables out of a factor.
 %   B = FactorMarginalization(A,V) computes the factor with the variables
 %   in V summed out. The factor data structure has the following fields:
 %       .var    Vector of variables in the factor, e.g. [1 2 3]
 %       .card   Vector of cardinalities corresponding to .var, e.g. [2 2 2]
 %       .val    Value table of size prod(.card)
 %
 %   The resultant factor should have at least one variable remaining or this
 %   function will throw an error.
 %
 %   See also FactorProduct.m, IndexToAssignment.m, and AssignmentToIndex.m
 
 function B = FactorMarginalization(A, V)
 %   A = Joint;
 %   V = [2];
 % Check for empty factor or variable list
 if (isempty(A.var) || isempty(V)), B = A; return; end;
 
 % Construct the output factor over A.var \ V (the variables in A.var that are not in V)
 % and mapping between variables in A and B
 [B.var, mapB] = setdiff(A.var, V);
 
 % Check for empty resultant factor
 if isempty(B.var)
   error('Error: Resultant factor has empty scope');
 end;
 
 % Initialize B.card and B.val
 B.card = A.card(mapB);
 B.val = zeros(1, prod(B.card));
 
 % Compute some helper indices
 % These will be very useful for calculating B.val
 % so make sure you understand what these lines are doing
 assignments = IndexToAssignment(1:length(A.val), A.card);
 indxB = AssignmentToIndex(assignments(:, mapB), B.card);
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 % YOUR CODE HERE
 % Correctly populate the factor values of B
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
 shunxu = 1:size(indxB);
 hunhe  = [indxB,shunxu'];
 hunhe_paixu = sortrows(hunhe,1);
 tmp_1 = hunhe_paixu(:,1);
 tmp_2 = hunhe_paixu(:,2);
 k = 1;
 for i = 1:length(tmp_1)-1
     if tmp_1(i) == tmp_1(i+1)
        B.val(k) = B.val(k) + A.val(tmp_2(i));
     else
        B.val(k) = B.val(k) + A.val(tmp_2(i));
        k = k+1;
     end
 end
 B.val(k) = B.val(k) + A.val(i+1);
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 end

3、变量观测

　　变量观测是将未知的变量置为已知。那么该变量其他不符合观测条件的取值都应该置为0. 该算法的核心思想是首先获得变量的assignment，之后选出被观测变量所占assignment的列。最后依次读取该列的值，将不符合观测结果的value置0.

 % ObserveEvidence Modify a vector of factors given some evidence.
 %   F = ObserveEvidence(F, E) sets all entries in the vector of factors, F,
 %   that are not consistent with the evidence, E, to zero. F is a vector of
 %   factors, each a data structure with the following fields:
 %     .var    Vector of variables in the factor, e.g. [1 2 3]
 %     .card   Vector of cardinalities corresponding to .var, e.g. [2 2 2]
 %     .val    Value table of size prod(.card)
 %   E is an N-by-2 matrix, where each row consists of a variable/value pair.
 %     Variables are in the first column and values are in the second column.
 
 function F = ObserveEvidence(F, E)
 
 % Iterate through all evidence
 
 for i = 1:size(E, 1)
     v = E(i, 1); % variable
     x = E(i, 2); % value
 
     % Check validity of evidence
     if (x == 0),
         warning(['Evidence not set for variable ', int2str(v)]);
         continue;
     end;
 
     for j = 1:length(F),
           % Does factor contain variable?
         indx = find(F(j).var == v);
 
         if (~isempty(indx)),
 
                  % Check validity of evidence
             if (x > F(j).card(indx) || x < 0 ),
                 error(['Invalid evidence, X_', int2str(v), ' = ', int2str(x)]);
             end;
 
             %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
             % YOUR CODE HERE
             % Adjust the factor F(j) to account for observed evidence
             % Hint: You might find it helpful to use IndexToAssignment
             %       and SetValueOfAssignment
             %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
             for k = 1:prod(F(j).card)
                  Assignment_ = IndexToAssignment(k,F(j).card);
                  if Assignment_(indx) ~= x
                      indx_ = AssignmentToIndex(Assignment_,F(j).card);
                      F(j).val(indx_) = 0;
                  end
             end
 
             %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
                 % Check validity of evidence / resulting factor
             if (all(F(j).val == 0)),
                 warning(['Factor ', int2str(j), ' makes variable assignment impossible']);
             end;
 
         end;
     end;
 end;
 
 end

4、计算联合分布

　　计算联合分布就是将若干个变量进行相乘。联合分布的输入是因子集。将因子集中的变量依次相乘，所得最后结果则为联合分布。

　　

 %ComputeJointDistribution Computes the joint distribution defined by a set
 % of given factors
 %
 %   Joint = ComputeJointDistribution(F) computes the joint distribution
 %   defined by a set of given factors
 %
 %   Joint is a factor that encapsulates the joint distribution given by F
 %   F is a vector of factors (struct array) containing the factors
 %     defining the distribution
 %
 
 % FACTORS.INPUT(1) = struct('var', [1], 'card', [2], 'val', [0.11, 0.89]);
 %
 % % FACTORS.INPUT(2) contains P(X_2 | X_1)
 % FACTORS.INPUT(2) = struct('var', [2, 1], 'card', [2, 2], 'val', [0.59, 0.41, 0.22, 0.78]);
 %
 % % FACTORS.INPUT(3) contains P(X_3 | X_2)
 % FACTORS.INPUT(3) = struct('var', [3, 2], 'card', [2, 2], 'val', [0.39, 0.61, 0.06, 0.94]);
 %
 % F = FACTORS.INPUT;
 
  function Joint = ComputeJointDistribution(F)
 
   % Check for empty factor list
   if (numel(F) == 0)
       warning('Error: empty factor list');
       Joint = struct('var', [], 'card', [], 'val', []);
       return;
   end
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 % YOUR CODE HERE:
 % Compute the joint distribution defined by F
 % You may assume that you are given legal CPDs so no input checking is required.
 %
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
  F_ = F;
 %Joint = struct('var', [], 'card', [], 'val', []); % Returns empty factor. Change this.
 for i = 2 : numel(F_)
    F_(i) = FactorProduct(F_(i),F_(i-1));
 end
 Joint = F_(i);
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
  end

5、计算边缘分布

　　边缘分布是在联合分布的基础上更进一步的处理，对于给定联合分布，某些变量可能被观测到。某些变量可能需要边际掉，最后的结果就是边缘分布。边缘分布得名于其在因子表中处以边缘的位置。其关键操作在于得到联合分布后必须归一化。因为边缘分布的和总是1.

 %ComputeMarginal Computes the marginal over a set of given variables
 %   M = ComputeMarginal(V, F, E) computes the marginal over variables V
 %   in the distribution induced by the set of factors F, given evidence E
 %
 %   M is a factor containing the marginal over variables V
 %   V is a vector containing the variables in the marginal e.g. [1 2 3] for
 %     X_1, X_2 and X_3.
 %   F is a vector of factors (struct array) containing the factors
 %     defining the distribution
 %   E is an N-by-2 matrix, each row being a variable/value pair.
 %     Variables are in the first column and values are in the second column.
 %     If there is no evidence, pass in the empty matrix [] for E.
 
 % % FACTORS.INPUT(1) contains P(X_1)
 % FACTORS.INPUT(1) = struct('var', [1], 'card', [2], 'val', [0.11, 0.89]);
 %
 % % FACTORS.INPUT(2) contains P(X_2 | X_1)
 % FACTORS.INPUT(2) = struct('var', [2, 1], 'card', [2, 2], 'val', [0.59, 0.41, 0.22, 0.78]);
 %
 % % FACTORS.INPUT(3) contains P(X_3 | X_2)
 % FACTORS.INPUT(3) = struct('var', [3, 2], 'card', [2, 2], 'val', [0.39, 0.61, 0.06, 0.94]);
 %
 % V = [3];
 % F = FACTORS.INPUT;
 % E = [];
 function M = ComputeMarginal(V, F, E)
 
 % Check for empty factor list
 if (numel(F) == 0)
       warning('Warning: empty factor list');
       M = struct('var', [], 'card', [], 'val', []);
       return;
 end
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 % YOUR CODE HERE:
 % M should be a factor
 % Remember to renormalize the entries of M!
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Joint = ComputeJointDistribution(F);
     Obser = ObserveEvidence(Joint,E);
     To_be_Mglzed = setdiff(Joint.var,V);
     if ~isempty(To_be_Mglzed)
         M = FactorMarginalization(Obser,To_be_Mglzed);
     else
         M = Obser;
     end
     M.val = M.val/sum(M.val);
 % M = struct('var', [], 'card', [], 'val', []); % Returns empty factor. Change this.
 
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 
  M = StandardizeFactors(M);
