Exploiting qualitative domain knowledge for learning Bayesian network parameters with incomplete data
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...

Parameter learning for relational Bayesian networks
We present a method for parameter learning in relational Bayesian networks (RBNs). Our approach consists of compiling the RBN model into a computation graph for the likelihood fun...

Improving Bayesian Network parameter learning using constraints
This paper describes a new approach to unify constraints on parameters with training data to perform parameter estimation in Bayesian networks of known structure. The method is ge...

Decomposing Local Probability Distributions in Bayesian Networks for Improved Inference and Parameter Learning
A major difficulty in building Bayesian network models is the size of conditional probability tables, which grow exponentially in the number of parents. One way of dealing with th...

Age-Layered Expectation Maximization for Parameter Learning in Bayesian Networks
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
