  2. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  3. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  4. Introduction • Engineers like graphical notation • It allow to compose a wealth of nontrivial algorithms from tabulated “local” computational primitive

  5. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  6. Factor Graphs • A factor graph represents the factorization of a function of several variables • Using Forney-style factor graphs

  7. Factor Graphscont’d • Example:

  8. Factor Graphscont’d • Forney-style factor graph (FFG); (b) factor graph as in [3]; • (c) Bayesian network; (d) Markov random field (MRF)

  9. Factor Graphscont’d • Advantages of FFGs: • suited for hierarchical modeling • compatible with standard block diagram • simplest formulation of the summary-product message update rule • natural setting for Forney’s result on FT and duality

  10. Auxiliary Variables • Let Y1 and Y2 be two independent observations of X:

  11. Modularity and Special Symbols • Let and with Z1, Z2 and X independent • The “+”-nodes represent the factors and

  12. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  13. Computing Marginals • Assume we wish to compute • For example, assume that can be written as

  14. Computing Marginalscont’d

  15. Message Passing Viewcont’d

  16. Sum-Product Rule • The message out of some node/factor along some edge is formed as the product of and all incoming messages along all edges except , summed over all involved variables except

  17. Arrows and Notation for Messages • denotes the message in the direction of the arrow • denotes the message in the opposite direction

  18. Marginals and Output Edges

  19. Max-Product Rule • The message out of some node/factor along some edge is formed as the product of and all incoming messages along all edges except , maximized over all involved variables except

  20. Scalar Gaussian Message • Message of the form: • Arrow notation: / is parameterized by mean / and variance /

  21. Scalar Gaussian Computation Rules

  22. Vector Gaussian Messages • Message of the form: • Message is parameterized • either by mean vector m and covariance matrix V=W-1 • or by W and Wm

  23. Vector Gaussian Messagescont’d • Arrow notation: is parameterized by and or by and • Marginal: is the Gaussian with mean and covariance matrix

  24. Single Edge Quantities

  25. Elementary Nodes

  26. Matrix Multiplication Node

  27. Composite Blocks

  28. Reversing a Matrix Multiplication

  29. Combinations

  30. General Linear State Space Model

  31. General Linear State Space Model Cont’d • If is nonsingular and －forward and －backward • If is singular and －forward and －backward

  32. General Linear State Space Model Cont’d • By combining the forward version with backward version, we can get

  33. Gaussian to Binary

  34. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  35. Message Types • A key issue with all message passing algorithms is the representation of messages for continuous variables • The following message types are widely applicable • Quantization of continuous variables • Function value and gradient • List of samples

  36. Message Typescont’d • All these message types, and many different message computation rules, can coexist in large system models • SD and EM are two example of message computation rules beyond the sum-product and max-product rules

  37. LSSM with Unknown Vector C

  38. Steep Descent as Message Passing • Suppose we wish to find

  39. Steep Descent as Message Passing Cont’d • Steepest descent: where s is a positive step-size parameter

  40. Steep Descent as Message Passing Cont’d • Gradient messages:

  42. Outline • Introduction • Factor graphs • Gaussian message passing in linear models • Beyond Gaussians • Conclusion

  43. Conclusion • The factor graph approach to signal processing involves the following steps: • Choose a factor graph to represent the system model • Choose the message types and suitable message computation rules • Choose a message update schedules
