Learning Bayesian Network Structure using LP Relaxations
We propose to solve the combinatorial problem of finding the highest scoring Bayesian network structure from data. This structure learning problem can be viewed as an inference pr...

The max-min hill-climbing Bayesian network structure learning algorithm
We present a new algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning, called Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC). The algorithm combines ideas from local learning, constraint-based, and sea...

Learning probabilistic decision graphs
Probabilistic decision graphs (PDGs) are a representation language for probability distributions based on binary decision diagrams. PDGs can encode (context-specific) independence...

A Theoretical Framework for Learning Bayesian Networks with Parameter Inequality Constraints
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...

Structure Search and Stability Enhancement of Bayesian Networks
Learning Bayesian network structure from large-scale data sets, without any expertspecified ordering of variables, remains a difficult problem. We propose systematic improvements ...

A chain-model genetic algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning
Bayesian Networks are today used in various fields and domains due to their inherent ability to deal with uncertainty. Learning Bayesian Networks, however is an NP-Hard task [7]....

Discretizing Continuous Attributes While Learning Bayesian Networks
We introduce a method for learning Bayesian networks that handles the discretization of continuous variables as an integral part of the learning process. The main ingredient in th...

Structure learning of Bayesian networks using constraints
This paper addresses exact learning of Bayesian network structure from data and expert's knowledge based on score functions that are decomposable. First, it describes useful ...
