Bayesian Network structures with a maximum in-degree of k can be approximated with respect to a positive scoring metric up to an factor of 1/k. Key words: approximation algorithm,...
We address the problem of identifying dynamic sequential plans in the framework of causal Bayesian networks, and show that the problem is reduced to identifying causal effects, fo...
Most previous work on trainable language generation has focused on two paradigms: (a) using a statistical model to rank a set of generated utterances, or (b) using statistics to i...
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...
