Title: | On phase transitions in learning sparse networks | Authors: | HOLLANDERS, Goele BEX, Geert Jan GYSSENS, Marc WESTRA, Ronald TUYLS, Karl |
Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN | Source: | MACHINE LEARNING: ECML 2007, PROCEEDINGS, 4701. p. 591-599 | Series/Report: | LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE | Series/Report no.: | 4701 | Abstract: | In this paper we study the identification of sparse interaction networks as a machine learning problem. Sparsity means that we are provided with a small data set and a high number of unknown components of the system, most of which are zero. Under these circumstances, a model needs to be learned that fits the underlying system, capable of generalization. This corresponds to the student-teacher setting in machine learning. In the first part of this paper we introduce a learning algorithm, based on L-1-minimization, to identify interaction networks from poor data and analyze its dynamics with respect to phase transitions. The efficiency of the algorithm is measured by the generalization error, which represents the probability that the student is a good fit to the teacher. In the second part of this paper we show that from a system with a specific system size value the generalization error of other system sizes can be estimated. A comparison with a set of simulation experiments show a very good fit. | Notes: | Hasselt Univ, Dept Math Phys & Comp Sci, Hasselt, Belgium.Hollanders, G, Hasselt Univ, Dept Math Phys & Comp Sci, Hasselt, Belgium. | Keywords: | machine learning, sparse network reconstruction, feature identification | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/7803 | ISBN: | 978-3-540-74957-8 | ISSN: | 0302-9743 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-540-74958-5_57 | ISI #: | 000249742300053 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2008 |
