Probabilistic Programming Process Algebra

open access: yes, 2014
Formal modelling languages such as process algebras are widespread and effective tools in computational modelling. However, handling data and uncertainty in a statistically meaningful way is an open problem in formal modelling, severely hampering the ...

Insight of Elementary Steps on the Polyethylene and Polypropylene Co‐Pyrolysis

open access: yesCarbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
Pyrolysis of PP initiates first, accelerating PE cracking via secondary radical transfer, leading to n‐hydrocarbon yield enhancement. Py–GC/MS and nanoreactor computation are in agreement on the elementary step proposal. ABSTRACT Pyrolysis with gas chromatography & mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS) technique was employed to analyze the yield variation of ...

A hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning‐based strategy for fault‐tolerant control

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a data‐driven control strategy integrating hidden Markov models (HMM) and reinforcement learning (RL) to achieve resilient, fault‐tolerant operation against persistent disturbances in nonlinear chemical processes. Called hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning (HMMRL), this strategy is evaluated in two case studies

Coalescence time and second largest eigenvalue modulus in the monotone reversible case [PDF]

open access: yes
If T is the coalescence time of the Propp and Wilson [15], perfect simulation algorithm, the aim of this paper is to show that T depends on the second largest eigenvalue modulus of the transition matrix of the underlying Markov chain.

Geodesic convexity of the relative entropy in reversible Markov chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We consider finite-dimensional, time-continuous Markov chains satisfying the detailed balance condition as gradient systems with the relative entropy E as driving functional.

A Hierarchical Approach to Generating Maps Using Markov Chains

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment, 2014
In this paper we describe a hierarchical method for procedurallygenerating maps using Markov chains. Ourmethod takes as input a collection of human-authoredtwo-dimensional maps, and splits them into high-leveltiles which capture large structures. Markov chains arethen learned from those maps to capture the structure ofboth the high-level tiles, as well

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Predicting Customer Churn and Retention Rates in Nigeria’s Mobile Telecommunication Industry Using Markov Chain Modelling

open access: yesActa Universitatis Sapientiae: Economics and Business, 2015
The telecommunication industry is one of the service industries that is most affected by the problem of subscribers’ churn. Although several techniques have been used to predict customer churn in developed countries, many of those studies used secondary ...

Improving Sampling from Generative Autoencoders with Markov Chains

open access: yesCoRR, 2016
We focus on generative autoencoders, such as variational or adversarial autoencoders, which jointly learn a generative model alongside an inference model. Generative autoencoders are those which are trained to softly enforce a prior on the latent distribution learned by the inference model.

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...
