	Bayesian network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, a Bayesian network represents a set of variables together with a joint probability distribution with explicit independence assumptions.
		A causal Bayesian network is a Bayesian network where the directed arcs of the graph are interpreted as representing causal relations in some real domain.
		Bayesian networks are used for modelling knowledge in gene regulatory networks, medicine, engineering, text analysis, image processing, data fusion, and decision support systems.

	An Introduction to Bayesian Networks and their Contemporary Applications
		Bayesian Networks are becoming an increasingly important area for research and application in the entire field of Artificial Intelligence.
		Bayesian networks are useful for both inferential exploration of previously undetermined relationships among variables as well as descriptions of these relationships upon discovery.
		Bayesian inference is useful because it allows the inference system to construct its own potential systems of meaning upon the data.

	A Tutorial on Learning With Bayesian Networks
		A Bayesian network is a graphical model that encodes probabilistic relationships among variables of interest.
		Two, a Bayesian network can be used to learn causal relationships, and hence can be used to gain understanding about a problem domain and to predict the consequences of intervention.
		Four, Bayesian statistical methods in conjunction with bayesian networks offer an efficient and principled approach for avoiding the overfitting of data.

	Intel to release machine learning libraries - 02 May 2003 - New Scientist
		Bayesian networks combine two mathematical approaches, Bayesian statistics and graph theory, to provide a powerful means of modelling probabilities based on continuously updated information.
		Bayesian networks are already used in some programs which, for example, can learn the characteristics of unwanted "spam" email by analysis of previous messages that the user has classified as legitimate or not.
		The new Bayesian network libraries will be optimised for Intel's microprocessor hardware, which is the most commonly used worldwide.

	What is Bayesian Learning? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The Bayesian school of statistics is based on a different view of what it means to learn from data, in which probability is used to represent uncertainty about the relationship being learned (a use that is shunned in conventional--i.e., frequentist--statistics).
		Network weights that seemed plausible before, but which don't match the data very well, will now be seen as being much less likely, while the probability for values of the weights that do fit the data well will have increased.
		Bayesian learning should not be confused with the "Bayes classifier." In the latter, the distribution of the inputs given the target class is assumed to be known exactly, and the prior probabilities of the classes are assumed known, so that the posterior probabilities can be computed by a (theoretically) simple application of Bayes' theorem.

	BNGenerator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Bayesian networks are popular representations for uncertainty; the idea is to use a directed acyclic graph and a collection of conditional probability distributions to represent a possibly complex joint probability distribution.
		To generate a Bayesian network, we need to generate a directed acyclic graph with N nodes, and for each node we must generate a number V of values, and then we must generate a probability distribution p(XP).
		It has been observed that in practice Bayesian networks are rather sparse graphs, in the sense that nodes have a few parents and children (that is, the degree of the nodes is not too large).

	A Plan for Spam
		I thought I was being very clever, but I found that the Bayesian filter did the same thing for me, and moreover discovered of a lot of words I hadn't thought of.
		To beat Bayesian filters, it would not be enough for spammers to make their emails unique or to stop using individual naughty words.
		You could use a Bayesian filter to rate the site just as you would an email, and whatever was found on the site could be included in calculating the probability of the email being a spam.

	Bayesian Belief Networks - a CompInfo Directory
		Belief networks are particularly useful for diagnostic applications and have been used in many deployed systems.
		Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) are at the cutting edge of expert systems research and development.
		It is primarily for information on belief networks (BNs) which are also known as graphical models, Bayesian networks, Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs), Markov networks, Chain graphs and Causal Probabilistic Networks (some of these are names for variants).

	BTS \| A Bayesian Network Model of Two-Car Accidents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		An advantage of the Bayesian network method presented here is its complex approach where system variables are interdependent and where no dependent and independent variables are needed.
		These networks are an important tool in the design and analysis of machine learning algorithms and are based on the idea of modularity whereby a complex system is built by combining simpler parts.
		Bayesian networks can streamline the process, because they are a compact way of factoring the joint probability distribution into local, conditional distributions that reduce the number of multiplications necessary to obtain the probability of specific events.

	LOCALLY DEFINED QUASI-BAYESIAN NETWORKS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		In a standard Bayesian network, irrelevance and independence constraints are implicit in Expression (1); this expression guarantees that a variable is independent of all its non-descendants given its parents [
		It seems more appropriate to ask a decision maker to explicitly indicate which qualitative constraints are to be enforced in a Quasi-Bayesian network, and to ask for irrelevance constraints instead of independence constraints, because irrelevance and independence are not equivalent in Quasi-Bayesian models (Section 2.2).
		The key fact is that a directed acyclic graph and a collection of local credal sets may admit more than one extension; the next sections investigate two important types of extension.

	Graphical Models
		The simplest conditional independence relationship encoded in a Bayesian network can be stated as follows: a node is independent of its ancestors given its parents, where the ancestor/parent relationship is with respect to some fixed topological ordering of the nodes.
		For example, consider the water sprinkler network, and suppose we observe the fact that the grass is wet.
		Note that "temporal Bayesian network" would be a better name than "dynamic Bayesian network", since it is assumed that the model structure does not change, but the term DBN has become entrenched.

	Bayesian Belief Networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The Bayesian Network uses the concept of Conditional Independence to simplify our calculations, allowing us to derive the information which we need from the joint distribution using a much smaller number of conditional probabilities.
		The effects of new information are propagated through the network using Bayes's Theorem, changing the belief values of other diseases and signs.
		Hence, the graph is a Bayesian Belief Network.

	A Bayesian network based framework for multi-criteria decision making
		In this framework, a decision problem is represented by an ID where each decision node represents the set of alternatives for a decision, a utility node represents the set of objectives (decision maker’s preferences), decision criteria and internal or external factors that may affect the criteria are represented by chance nodes.
		The joint probability distribution, which is compactly captured by the network structure and CPT, encodes the domain expert’s knowledge of interdependency between variables.
		The decision problem is then treated as an optimization problem: recommend the decision alternative which optimizes the expected utility, given observations of some external factors and preferences made by the decision maker.
