Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a belief propagation algorithm for a simplified network representing communicating sensors in an environment. What factors will you need to consider for the graph structure?

💡 Hint: Think about how sensors are ideally arranged and their communication limitations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a cycle in a graphical model, argue why belief propagation may not yield accurate results. What modifications might improve its performance?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of cycles in information flow.
