Bayesian classifiers such as Naive Bayes or Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) have shown excellent performance given their simplicity and heavy underlying independence assumptions....
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...
Most machine learning algorithms are lazy: they extract from the training set the minimum information needed to predict its labels. Unfortunately, this often leads to models that ...

Generating good, production-quality plans is an essential element in transforming planners from research tools into real-world applications, but one that has been frequently overl...
Dependency networks approximate a joint probability distribution over multiple random variables as a product of conditional distributions. Relational Dependency Networks (RDNs) are...
