Description

I will present a general framework which can be used to reconstruct probability distributions for strings of binary variables. While the problem of inference can be analytically controlled for small systems, a description of some of the regularization prescriptions needed to treat large systems will be provided, together with a discussion concerning their symmetries. Finally, I will present several possible applications of these methods, namely i) exact, fast inference for 1-D periodic systems, ii) exact, fast inference for tree-like graphs, iii) approximate, fast inference for generic graphs.
