We consider the problem of learning the parameters of a Bayesian network from data, while taking into account prior knowledge about the signs of influences between variables. Such...
Combining classifier methods have shown their effectiveness in a number of applications. Nonetheless, using simultaneously multiple classifiers may result in some cases in a reduc...

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...
A student's goals and attitudes while interacting with a tutor are typically unseen and unknowable. However their outward behavior (e.g. problem-solving time, mistakes and hel...
