The task of learning models for many real-world problems requires incorporating domain knowledge into learning algorithms, to enable accurate learning from a realistic volume of t...

We propose a cooperative-coevolution – Parisian trend – algorithm, IMPEA (Independence Model based Parisian EA), to the problem of Bayesian networks structure estimation. It i...
In this paper we prove the so-called "Meek Conjecture". In particular, we show that if a DAG H is an independence map of another DAG G, then there exists a finite sequen...
This paper describes a new approach to unify constraints on parameters with training data to perform parameter estimation in Bayesian networks of known structure. The method is ge...
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...
