A graphical model or probabilistic graphical model (PGM) or structured probabilistic model is a probabilistic model for which a graph expresses the conditional dependence structure between random variables. They are commonly used in probability theory, statistics—particularly Bayesian statistics—and machine learning. (Wikipedia)
Undirected graphical models are compact representations of joint probability distributions over random variables. To solve inference tasks of interest, graphical models of arbitrary topology can be trained using empirical risk minimization.
We demonstrate that BootDQNprior+'s lagged target parameters, which are essential to its performance, arise from applying approximate inference to the BBO posterior.
Below, we proceed to describe our contributions in greater detail. Our framework builds upon the seminal work of Jordan et al. [1998], which introduced the celebrated
