Exploiting Causal Independence in Markov Logic Networks: Combining Undirected and Directed Models
Abstract. A new method is proposed for compiling causal independencies into Markov logic networks (MLNs). An MLN can be viewed as compactly representing a factorization of a joint ...

EM Algorithm for Symmetric Causal Independence Models
Causal independence modelling is a well-known method both for reducing the size of probability tables and for explaining the underlying mechanisms in Bayesian networks. In this pap...
