Learning Probabilistic Graphical Models in R Posted: 21 Jul 2016 09:10 AM PDT Probabilistic graphical models (PGM, also known as graphical models) are a marriage between probability theory and graph theory. Generally, PGMs use a graph-based representation. Two branches of graphical representations of distributions are commonly used, namely Bayesian networks and Markov networks. R has many packages to implement graphical models. We’ll start by showing you how to transform a classical statistical model into a modern PGM and then look at how to do exact inference in graphical models. Proceeding, we’ll introduce you to many modern R packages that will help you to perform inference on the models. We will then run a Bayesian linear regression and you’ll see the advantage of going probabilistic when you want to do prediction. Next, you’ll master using R packages and implementing its techniques. Finally, you’ll be presented with machine learning applications that have a direct impact in many fields. Here, we’ll cover clustering and the discovery of hidden information in big data, as well as two important methods, PCA and ICA, to reduce the size of big problems. What you will learn Understand the concepts of PGM and which type of PGM to use for which problem Tune the model’s parameters and explore new models automatically Understand the basic principles of Bayesian models, from simple to advanced Transform the old linear regression model into a powerful probabilistic model Use standard industry models but with the power of PGM Understand the advanced models used throughout today’s industry See how to compute posterior distribution with exact and approximate inference algorithms The post Learning Probabilistic Graphical Models in R appeared first on 1Bookcase.

Digital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics Posted: 05 Jul 2016 12:28 PM PDT Digital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics: Quality, Compression, Performance, and Power Trade-off Analysis. Digital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics: Quality, Compression, Performance, and Power Trade-off Analysis is a concise reference for professionals in a wide range of applications and vocations. It focuses on giving the reader mastery over the concepts, methods and metrics of digital video coding, so that readers have sufficient understanding to choose and tune coding parameters for optimum results that would suit their particular needs for quality, compression, speed and power. The practical aspects are many: Uploading video to the Internet is only the beginning of a trend where a consumer controls video quality and speed by trading off various other factors. Open source and proprietary applications such as video e-mail, private party content generation, editing and archiving, and cloud asset management would give further control to the end-user. Digital video is frequently compressed and coded for easier storage and transmission. This process involves visual quality loss due to typical data compression techniques and requires use of high performance computing systems. A careful balance between the amount of compression, the visual quality loss and the coding speed is necessary to keep the total system cost down, while delivering a good user experience for various video applications. At the same time, power consumption optimizations are also essential to get the job done on inexpensive consumer platforms. Trade-offs can be made among these factors, and relevant considerations are particularly important in resource-constrained low power devices. To better understand the trade-offs this book discusses a comprehensive set of engineering principles, strategies, methods and metrics. It also exposes readers to approaches on how to differentiate and rank video coding solutions. What you'll learn Cost-benefit analysis of compression techniques Video quality metrics evaluation Performance and power optimization and measurement Trade-off analysis among power, performance, and visual quality Emerging uses and applications of video technologies Who this book is for This book is for anyone involved in designing, developing, validating, deploying, and reviewing systems and applications that deal with digital video. For example, software and hardware engineers, system architects, technical program and product managers, support and sales engineers, system integrators, technology journalists and video professionals working in the multimedia and telecommunication industries, researchers and graduate students, or even a tech-savvy user who posts a YouTube video would find this book a useful reference.
