Using Markov Blankets for Causal Structure Learning
We show how a generic feature selection algorithm returning strongly relevant variables can be turned into a causal structure learning algorithm. We prove this under the Faithfuln...

Algorithms for Large Scale Markov Blanket Discovery
This paper presents a number of new algorithms for discovering the Markov Blanket of a target variable T from training data. The Markov Blanket can be used for variable selection ...

Markov Blankets and Meta-heuristics Search: Sentiment Extraction from Unstructured Texts
Extracting sentiments from unstructured text has emerged as an important problem in many disciplines. An accurate method would enable us, for example, to mine online opinions from ...

Time and sample efficient discovery of Markov blankets and direct causal relations
Data Mining with Bayesian Network learning has two important characteristics: under broad conditions learned edges between variables correspond to causal influences, and second, f...

Identifying Markov Blankets with Decision Tree Induction
The Markov Blanket of a target variable is the minimum conditioning set of variables that makes the target independent of all other variables. Markov Blankets inform feature selec...
