Overview of this book

<p>With the increasing prominence in machine learning and data science applications, probabilistic graphical models are a new tool that machine learning users can use to discover and analyze structures in complex problems. The variety of tools and algorithms under the PGM framework extend to many domains such as natural language processing, speech processing, image processing, and disease diagnosis.</p> <p>You've probably heard of graphical models before, and you're keen to try out new landscapes in the machine learning area. This book gives you enough background information to get started on graphical models, while keeping the math to a minimum.</p>

Chapter 3. Undirected Graphical Models

We shall now look at models where the interaction between variables is such that the directionality cannot be ascribed to them. We shall see how to represent these undirected models and their properties in terms of their distribution and D-separation.
