Abstract: Sum-product networks are a relatively new and increasingly
popular class of (precise) probabilistic graphical models that allow
for marginal inference with polynomial effort. As with other
probabilistic models, sum-product networks are often learned from data
and used to perform classification. Hence, their results are prone to
be unreliable and overconfident. In this talk we describe the
sum-product networks and elaborate further on a robust extension which
is typically useful for sensitivity analysis and risk-aware
inferences. We apply our algorithms on realistic classification tasks
and discuss on the results and possible future research.
