Therefore, this paper adopts the Bayesian viewpoint and introduces a new version of the matrix variate t graphical network. This model's prior beliefs rely on the matrix variate gamma distribution to handle the noise process flexibly; from a statistical learning viewpoint, such a theoretical consideration benefits the comprehension of structures and processes that cause network-based noise in data as part of machine learning and offers real-world interpretation. A proposed Gibbs algorithm is provided for computing and approximating the resulting posterior probability distribution of interest to assess the considered model's network centrality measures.

A key distinction is that classical uncertainty quantification takes the form of precise probabilities and offers only limited large-sample validity guarantees, whereas the IM's uncertainty quantification is imprecise in such a way that exact, finite-sample valid inference is possible. But are the IM's imprecision and finite-sample validity compatible with statistical efficiency? That is, can IMs be both finite-sample valid and asymptotically efficient? This paper gives an affirmative answer to this question via a new possibilistic Bernstein–von Mises theorem that parallels a fundamental Bayesian result. Among other things, our result shows that the IM solution is efficient in the sense that, asymptotically, its credal set is the smallest that contains the Gaussian distribution with variance equal to the Cramér–Rao lower bound. Moreover, a corresponding version of this new Bernstein–von Mises theorem is presented for problems that involve the elimination of nuisance parameters, which settles an open question concerning the relative efficiency of profiling-based versus extension-based marginalization strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 109389"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, compared to traditional graphs, the combinatorial explosion of hyperedges significantly increases the complexity of enumeration, especially as the <em>r</em>-value and the number of hypernodes grow, rapidly expanding the search space. Moreover, overlapping hyperedges in dense hypergraphs lead to substantial redundant checks, further exacerbating search inefficiency, making traditional methods inadequate for large-scale hypergraphs. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes a novel approach MHSC that handles the maximal hyperclique search task in <em>r</em>-uniform hypergraph based on concept-cognitive learning. Concept-cognitive learning refers to the process of understanding and structuring knowledge through the formation of concepts and their interrelationships. Technically, the hypernode-neighbor structure of the hypergraph is first expressed as a formal context, and the required concepts are generated using the concept lattice algorithm. Based on the shared relationships between hypernodes represented by the hyperedges, a series of theorems are proposed to prune hypernodes that cannot form maximal hypercliques within the sets of 1-intent and 2-intent concepts, thereby narrowing the search space and reducing redundant computations. Furthermore, an optimization method termed MHSC+ is introduced. Extensive experiments conducted on both test datasets and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and applicability of the proposed algorithm.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 109386"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide a counterexample that shows that completeness does not hold. However, we also show that the grounded consequences defined by Dialectical <em>Cl-Arg</em> strictly subsume the grounded consequences defined by standard <em>Cl-Arg</em> formalisations of <em>PS</em>, so that we recover sceptical <em>PS</em> consequences that one would intuitively expect to hold.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 109385"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it becomes crucial to extract valuable information from such data. Information fusion techniques provide effective solutions for handling multi-source data and can be categorized into three levels: data-level fusion, feature-level fusion, and decision-level fusion. Feature-level fusion combines features from multiple sources to create a consolidated feature, enhancing information richness. This paper proposes an unsupervised feature extraction and fusion method for multi-source data that utilizes the R-Vine copula, denoted as CF. The method starts by performing kernel density estimation to extract each data source's marginal density and distribution. Next, the maximum spanning tree is employed to select a vine structure for each attribute, and the corresponding copulas are chosen using maximum likelihood estimation and the AIC criterion. The joint probability density of each attribute across all information sources can be obtained by utilizing the relevant vine structure and copulas, serving as the final fusion feature. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated on eighteen simulated datasets and six real datasets. The results indicate that compared to several state-of-the-art fusion methods, the CF method can significantly enhance the classification accuracy of popular classifiers such as KNN, SVM, and Logistic Regression.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13842,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Approximate Reasoning","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 109384"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, many methods also fail to emphasize the importance of unified training for classification loss and hash loss, which can also reduce the robustness and effectiveness of the model. Regarding these two issues, this paper designs Efficient Parameter-free Adaptive Hashing for Large-Scale Cross-Modal Retrieval (EPAH) to adaptively extract the modality variations and collect corresponding semantics of cross-modal features into the generated hash codes. EPAH does not use hyper-parameters, weight vectors, auxiliary matrices, and other structures to learn cross-modal data, while efficient parameter-free adaptive hashing can achieve multi-modal retrieval tasks. Specifically, our proposal is a two-stage strategy, divided into feature extraction and unified training, both stages are parameter-free adaptive learning. Meanwhile, this article simplifies the model training settings, selects the more stable gradient descent method, and designs the unified hash code generation function. Comprehensive experiments evidence that our EPAH approach can outperform the SoTA DCMHR methods. In addition, EPAH conducts the essential analysis of out-of-modality extension and parameter anti-interference, which demonstrates generalization and innovation.
