Obtaining a bayesian network from data is a learning process that is divided in two steps: structural learning and parametric learning. In this paper, we define an automatic learni...
The structure of a Bayesian network (BN) encodes variable independence. Learning the structure of a BN, however, is typically of high computational complexity. In this paper, we e...
Bayesian networks are a powerful probabilistic representation, and their use for classification has received considerable attention. However, they tend to perform poorly when lear...
Although Bayesian model averaging is theoretically the optimal method for combining learned models, it has seen very little use in machine learning. In this paper we study its app...
Recently, the margin criterion has been successfully used for parameter optimization in graphical models. We introduce maximum margin based structure learning for Bayesian network...
