discrete pairwise undirected graphical models

Copyright (c) 2020 Nico Piatkowski

pxpy

The python library for discrete pairwise undirected graphical models.

Inference: * Loopy belief propagation (GPU support) * Junction tree * Stochastic Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature

Sampling: * Gibbs Sampling * Perturb+Map Sampling

Parameter learning: * Accelerated proximal gradient * built-in L1 / L2 regularization * Supports arbitrary custom regularization

Structure learning: * Chow-Liu trees * Soft-thresolding * High-order clique structures

Misc: * Support for spatio-temporal compressible reparametrization (STRF) * Runs on x86_64 (linux, windows), ARMv8 (linux), and MSP430 (bare metal) * Basic graph drawing via graphviz * Discretization
