Learning Bayesian network structure from large-scale data sets, without any expertspecified ordering of variables, remains a difficult problem. We propose systematic improvements ...
We propose Laplace max-margin Markov networks (LapM3 N), and a general class of Bayesian M3 N (BM3 N) of which the LapM3 N is a special case with sparse structural bias, for robus...
Bayesian networks are commonly used in cognitive student modeling and assessment. They typically represent the item-concepts relationships, where items are observable responses to ...
Recently, the margin criterion has been successfully used for parameter optimization in graphical models. We introduce maximum margin based structure learning for Bayesian network...
In this paper we explore the use of several types of structural restrictions within algorithms for learning Bayesian networks. These restrictions may codify expert knowledge in a g...
