Dependent Dirichlet Priors and Optimal Linear Estimators for Belief Net Parameters
A Bayesian belief network is a model of a joint distribution over a finite set of variables, with a DAG structure representing immediate dependencies among the variables. For each...

On Triangulating Dynamic Graphical Models
This paper introduces improved methodology to triangulate dynamic graphical models and dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs). In this approach, a standard DBN template can be modified...

Structured Reachability Analysis for Markov Decision Processes
Recent research in decision theoretic planning has focussedon making the solution of Markov decision processes (MDPs) more feasible. We develop a family of algorithms for structur...
