Please,
I would like to know if could anyone indicate references about the
inference with Mixture Graphical Models, like Mixture of Trees (by
Marina Meila-Predoviciu).
I suspect that the assertion ("the inference result of a mixture of
trees is a mixture of the inference of the component trees", page-44,
in Marina's dissertation) may be incorrect, for inference involves not
only a marginalization, but also a conditioning operation.
If this property doesn't hold in the inference with mixture of DAG, is
it practical to apply this kind of model in real-world tasks? The
inference speed may be unsatisfactory.
Best Regards,
Gang LI
