Performance modeling and evaluation


At IBM Research - Zurich there is extensive knowledge of and simulation experience with graphical models, including factor graphs and Bayesan belief networks.

In particular this means probabilistic inference in graphical models using the probability propagation approach known as the "belief propagation algorithm" or the "sum product algorithm".

The applications of such graphical models with sometimes millions of nodes are

· pattern classification,
· unsupervised learning,
· data compression and
· channel coding.

The team at IBM Research - Zurich has particularly vast experience with the latter application.

Deep Computing technology is used for performance evaluation in terms of probability of error or failure of communication and storage systems. The IBM Research - Zurich team has particular expertise with Monte Carlo simulations of such complex systems. These extensive simulations involve adaptive structures and complex algorithms that must be validated over extremely long sequences of excitation signals.
