Bayesian networks are commonly used in cognitive student modeling and assessment. They typically represent the item-concepts relationships, where items are observable responses to ...
Causal independence modelling is a well-known method both for reducing the size of probability tables and for explaining the underlying mechanisms in Bayesian networks. In this pap...
We describe a mechanism for the interpretation of arguments, which can cope with noisy conditions in terms of wording, beliefs and argument structure. This is achieved through the...
Theefficiency of algorithmsfor probabilistic inference in Bayesian networks can be improvedby exploiting independenceof causal influence. Thefactorized representation of independe...
In designing a Bayesian network for an actual problem, developers need to bridge the gap between ematical abstractions offered by the Bayesian-network formalism and the features o...
