The Acyclic Bayesian Net Generator
Abstract. We present the Acyclic Bayesian Net Generator, a new approach to learn the structure of a Bayesian network using genetic algorithms. Due to the encoding mechanism, acycli...

Efficient Approximations for the Marginal Likelihood of Incomplete Data Given a Bayesian Network
We discuss Bayesian methods for learning Bayesian networks when data sets are incomplete. In particular, we examine asymptotic approximations for the marginal likelihood of incomp...
