Competitive generative models with structure learning for NLP classification tasks
In this paper we show that generative models are competitive with and sometimes superior to discriminative models, when both kinds of models are allowed to learn structures that a...

Identifying Markov Blankets with Decision Tree Induction
The Markov Blanket of a target variable is the minimum conditioning set of variables that makes the target independent of all other variables. Markov Blankets inform feature selec...

Discovering Weakly-Interacting Factors in a Complex Stochastic Process
Dynamic Bayesian networks are structured representations of stochastic processes. Despite their structure, exact inference in DBNs is generally intractable. One approach to approx...

Iterative Conditional Fitting for Gaussian Ancestral Graph Models
Ancestral graph models, introduced by Richardson and Spirtes (2002), generalize both Markov random fields and Bayesian networks to a class of graphs with a global Markov property ...

Optimal Structure Identification With Greedy Search
In this paper we prove the so-called "Meek Conjecture". In particular, we show that if a DAG H is an independence map of another DAG G, then there exists a finite sequen...
