Network medicine is an emerging paradigm for studying the co-occurrence between diseases. While diseases are often interlinked through complex patterns, most of the existing work in this area has focused on studying pairwise relationships between diseases. In this paper, we use a state-of-the-art Markov network learning method to learn interactions between musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular diseases and compare this to pairwise approaches. Our experimental results confirm that the sophisticated structure learner produces more accurate models, which can help reveal interesting patterns in the co-occurrence of diseases.

In this short position paper, we consider MaxWalkSAT, a local search algorithm for MAP inference in probabilistic graphical models, and lift it to the first-order level, yielding a powerful algorithm for MAP inference in Markov logic networks (MLNs). Lifted MaxWalkSAT is based on the observation that if the MLN is monadic, namely if each predicate is unary then MaxWalkSAT is completely liftable in the sense that no grounding is required at inference time. We propose to utilize this observation in a straight-forward manner: convert the MLN to an equivalent monadic MLN by grounding a subset of its logical variables and then apply lifted MaxWalkSAT on it. It turns out however that the problem of finding the smallest subset of logical variables which when grounded will yield a monadic MLN is NP-hard in general and therefore we propose an approximation algorithm for solving it.

The Rao-Blackwell theorem is utilized to analyze and improve the scalability of inference in large probabilistic models that exhibit symmetries. A novel marginal density estimator is introduced and shown both analytically and empirically to outperform standard estimators by several orders of magnitude. The developed theory and algorithms apply to a broad class of probabilistic models including statistical relational models considered not susceptible to lifted probabilistic inference.

This paper is devoted to fair optimization in Multiobjective Markov Decision Processes (MOMDPs). A MOMDP is an extension of the MDP model for planning under uncertainty while trying to optimize several reward functions simultaneously. This applies to multiagent problems when rewards define individual utility functions, or in multicriteria problems when rewards refer to different features. In this setting, we study the determination of policies leading to Lorenz-non-dominated tradeoffs. Lorenz dominance is a refinement of Pareto dominance that was introduced in Social Choice for the measurement of inequalities. In this paper, we introduce methods to efficiently approximate the sets of Lorenz-non-dominated solutions of infinite-horizon, discounted MOMDPs. The approximations are polynomial-sized subsets of those solutions.
