Generative Steganography Diffusion

no code implementations5 May 2023 Ping Wei, Qing Zhou, Zichi Wang, Zhenxing Qian, Xinpeng Zhang, Sheng Li

However, existing GAN-based GS methods cannot completely recover the hidden secret data due to the lack of network invertibility, while Flow-based methods produce poor image quality due to the stringent reversibility restriction in each module.

Generative Steganography Network

no code implementations28 Jul 2022 Ping Wei, Sheng Li, Xinpeng Zhang, Ge Luo, Zhenxing Qian, Qing Zhou

A new steganographic approach called generative steganography (GS) has emerged recently, in which stego images (images containing secret data) are generated from secret data directly without cover media.

A non-graphical representation of conditional independence via the neighbourhood lattice

no code implementations12 Jun 2022 Arash A. Amini, Bryon Aragam, Qing Zhou

We introduce and study the neighbourhood lattice decomposition of a distribution, which is a compact, non-graphical representation of conditional independence that is valid in the absence of a faithful graphical representation.

Distributed Learning of Generalized Linear Causal Networks

no code implementations23 Jan 2022 Qiaoling Ye, Arash A. Amini, Qing Zhou

We consider the task of learning causal structures from data stored on multiple machines, and propose a novel structure learning method called distributed annealing on regularized likelihood score (DARLS) to solve this problem.

Partitioned hybrid learning of Bayesian network structures

no code implementations22 Mar 2021 Jireh Huang, Qing Zhou

We develop a novel hybrid method for Bayesian network structure learning called partitioned hybrid greedy search (pHGS), composed of three distinct yet compatible new algorithms: Partitioned PC (pPC) accelerates skeleton learning via a divide-and-conquer strategy, $p$-value adjacency thresholding (PATH) effectively accomplishes parameter tuning with a single execution, and hybrid greedy initialization (HGI) maximally utilizes constraint-based information to obtain a high-scoring and well-performing initial graph for greedy search.

Causal network learning with non-invertible functional relationships

no code implementations20 Apr 2020 Bingling Wang, Qing Zhou

Discovery of causal relationships from observational data is an important problem in many areas.

Globally optimal score-based learning of directed acyclic graphs in high-dimensions

no code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Bryon Aragam, Arash Amini, Qing Zhou

We prove that $\Omega(s\log p)$ samples suffice to learn a sparse Gaussian directed acyclic graph (DAG) from data, where $s$ is the maximum Markov blanket size.

On perfectness in Gaussian graphical models

no code implementations3 Sep 2019 Arash A. Amini, Bryon Aragam, Qing Zhou

Knowing when a graphical model is perfect to a distribution is essential in order to relate separation in the graph to conditional independence in the distribution, and this is particularly important when performing inference from data.

Learning Gaussian DAGs from Network Data

no code implementations26 May 2019 Hangjian Li, Oscar Hernan Madrid Padilla, Qing Zhou

Structural learning of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) or Bayesian networks has been studied extensively under the assumption that data are independent.

We propose a novel structure learning method, annealing on regularized Cholesky score (ARCS), to search over topological sorts, or permutations of nodes, for a high-scoring Bayesian network.
