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...
In this paper we propose a probabilistic model for online document clustering. We use non-parametric Dirichlet process prior to model the growing number of clusters, and use a pri...
A new language and inference algorithm for stochastic modeling is presented. This work refines and generalizes the stochastic functional language originally proposed by [1]. The l...
Abstract. There is currently a large interest in relational probabilistic models. While the concept of context-specific independence (CSI) has been well-studied for models such as ...
Abstract. Causal modeling, such as noisy-OR, reduces probability parameters to be acquired in constructing a Bayesian network. Multiple causes can reinforce each other in producing...
