Selective Greedy Equivalence Search: Finding Optimal Bayesian Networks Using a Polynomial Number of Score Evaluations

no code implementations6 Jun 2015 David Maxwell Chickering, Christopher Meek

We introduce Selective Greedy Equivalence Search (SGES), a restricted version of Greedy Equivalence Search (GES).

Learning Bayesian Networks: The Combination of Knowledge and Statistical Data

no code implementations27 Feb 2013 David Heckerman, Dan Geiger, David Maxwell Chickering

Second, we describe local search and annealing algorithms to be used in conjunction with scoring metrics.

Efficient Approximations for the Marginal Likelihood of Incomplete Data Given a Bayesian Network

no code implementations13 Feb 2013 David Maxwell Chickering, David Heckerman

We consider the Laplace approximation and the less accurate but more efficient BIC/MDL approximation.

A Bayesian Approach to Learning Bayesian Networks with Local Structure

no code implementations6 Feb 2013 David Maxwell Chickering, David Heckerman, Christopher Meek

The majority of this work has concentrated on using decision-tree representations for the CPDs.

Learning Mixtures of DAG Models

no code implementations30 Jan 2013 Bo Thiesson, Christopher Meek, David Maxwell Chickering, David Heckerman

We describe computationally efficient methods for learning mixtures in which each component is a directed acyclic graphical model (mixtures of DAGs or MDAGs).

Fast Learning from Sparse Data

no code implementations23 Jan 2013 David Maxwell Chickering, David Heckerman

We describe two techniques that significantly improve the running time of several standard machine-learning algorithms when data is sparse.
