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...

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 ...

A New Look at Causal Independence
Heckerman (1993) defined causal independence in terms of a set of temporal conditional independence statements. These statements formalized certain types of causal interaction whe...

A multi-agent systems approach to distributed bayesian information fusion
This paper introduces design principles for modular Bayesian fusion systems which can (i) cope with large quantities of heterogeneous information and (ii) can adapt to changing co...
