Following Kemp et al. (2010), we investigate the performance of the hierarchical Bayesian model, in which causal systems are represented by directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with nodes divided into distinct categories. This paper presents two non-reversible search and score algorithms (Q1 and Q2) and their application to the causal learning system. The algorithms run through the pairs of class-assignment vectors and graph structures and choose the one which maximizes the probability of given observations. The model discovers latent classes in relational data and the number of these classes and predicts relations between objects belonging to them. We evaluate its performance on prediction tasks from the behavioural experiment about human cognition. Within the discussed approach, we solve a simplified prediction problem when object classification is known in advance. Finally, we describe the experimental procedure allowing in-depth analysis of the efficiency and scalability of both search and score algorithms.","PeriodicalId":55209,"journal":{"name":"Control and Cybernetics","volume":"50 1","pages":"323 - 361"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49179257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this problem a meta-heuristic algorithm has been developed, namely an ant colony optimization algorithm. In this paper a new development of this ant algorithm and experimental results are presented. The problem of finding the maximum number of 3-vertices cliques can be encountered in computer image analysis, computer vision applications, automation and robotic vision systems. The optimal solution of this problem boils down to finding a set of 3-vertices cliques in a 3-partite graph and this set should have cardinality as high as possible. The elaborated ant colony algorithm can be easily modified for d-dimensional problems, that is for finding the maximum number of d-vertices cliques in a d-partite graph.","PeriodicalId":55209,"journal":{"name":"Control and Cybernetics","volume":"50 1","pages":"347 - 358"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44578718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formula for variance of a portfolio is given that allows for estimating its risk. Models of acceptable portfolios are based on the principle of expected possibility or on the basis of fulfilling the restriction on the possibility/necessity and probability of the level of portfolio return that is acceptable to an investor. Equivalent deterministic analogues of the models are constructed and their solution methods are developed. Theorems describing a set of investment opportunities are proven.
