• Real-world graph-structured data:

• Complex

• Noisy

• Dynamic (with varying size)

• Example: Semantic Topological Maps

•Traditional structured prediction approaches:•Place strict constraints on variable interactions•Require fixed number of variables•Require static global structure

Motivation

• Graph-Structured Sum-Product Networks (GraphSPNs):

• GraphSPNs learn models of global semantic maps with topological spatial relations
