Bayesian-Like Estimation with Unnormalized Model
摘要
Parameter estimation of probabilistic models for discrete variables is often infeasible due to the calculation of the normalization constant required to ensure the model represents a valid probability distribution, and various approaches have been developed to resolve this problem. In this paper, we consider a computationally feasible estimator for discrete probabilistic models based on a concept of empirical localization. Furthermore, we propose a computationally feasible estimator similar to the MAP estimator in Bayesian estimation by extending the above estimator.
