Undirected Graphical Model

Undirected graphical models, such as Markov Random Fields and Restricted Boltzmann Machines, represent relationships between variables using a graph structure, aiming to learn this structure and associated parameters from data. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency of learning algorithms, particularly by leveraging dynamical data or employing importance sampling techniques to accelerate training of models like Physics-Informed Neural Networks. These advancements are significant because they enable the application of undirected graphical models to larger, more complex datasets and problems across diverse fields, including machine learning, computer vision, and statistical inference. Furthermore, research explores novel algorithms, including quantum-inspired approaches, to enhance the speed and scalability of structure learning.
