fglib

The factor graph library (fglib) is a Python package to simulate message passing on factor graphs. It supports the

  • sum-product algorithm (belief propagation)
  • max-product algorithm
  • max-sum algorithm
  • mean-field algorithm - in development

with discrete and Gaussian random variables.

Installation

Install fglib with the Python Package Index by using

pip install fglib

Install fglib with setuptools by using

python setup.py install

Dependencies

Documentation

In order to generate the documentation site for the factor graph library, execute the following commands from the top-level directory.

$ cd docs/
$ make html

Example

Examples (like the following one) are located in the examples/ directory.

"""A simple example of the sum-product algorithm

This is a simple example of the sum-product algorithm on a factor graph
with Discrete random variables.

      /--\      +----+      /--\      +----+      /--\
     | x1 |-----| fa |-----| x2 |-----| fb |-----| x3 |
      \--/      +----+      \--/      +----+      \--/
                             |
                           +----+
                           | fc |
                           +----+
                             |
                            /--\
                           | x4 |
                            \--/

The following joint distributions are used for the factor nodes.

     fa   | x2=0 x2=1 x2=2     fb   | x3=0 x3=1     fc   | x4=0 x4=1
     ---------------------     ----------------     ----------------
     x1=0 | 0.3  0.2  0.1      x2=0 | 0.3  0.2      x2=0 | 0.3  0.2
     x1=1 | 0.3  0.0  0.1      x2=1 | 0.3  0.0      x2=1 | 0.3  0.0
                               x2=2 | 0.1  0.1      x2=2 | 0.1  0.1
