When Discriminative Learning of Bayesian Network Parameters Is Easy
Bayesian network models are widely used for discriminative prediction tasks such as classification. Usually their parameters are determined using 'unsupervised' methods ...

SMEM Algorithm for Mixture Models
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...

Large-Sample Learning of Bayesian Networks is NP-Hard
In this paper, we provide new complexity results for algorithms that learn discrete-variable Bayesian networks from data. Our results apply whenever the learning algorithm uses a ...

A geometric view on learning Bayesian network structures
We recall the basic idea of an algebraic approach to learning Bayesian network (BN) structures, namely to represent every BN structure by a certain (uniquely determined) vector, c...

Learning Equivalence Classes of Bayesian Network Structures
Two Bayesian-network structures are said to be equivalent if the set of distributions that can be represented with one of those structures is identical to the set of distributions...
