Scalable Techniques for Mining Causal Structures
Mining for association rules in market basket data has proved a fruitful areaof research. Measures such as conditional probability (confidence) and correlation have been used to i...

Generating Hierarchical Structure in Reinforcement Learning from State Variables
This paper presents the CQ algorithm which decomposes and solves a Markov Decision Process (MDP) by automatically generating a hierarchy of smaller MDPs using state variables. The ...

A sufficient condition for pooling data
We consider the problems arising from using sequences of experiments to discover the causal structure among a set of variables, none of whom are known ahead of time to be an "...

The Search of Causal Orderings: A Short Cut for Learning Belief Networks
Abstract. Although we can build a belief network starting from any ordering of its variables, its structure depends heavily on the ordering being selected: the topology of the netw...
