We present a new algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning, called Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC). The algorithm combines ideas from local learning, constraint-based, and search-and-score… (More)
This paper presents a number of new algorithms for discovering the Markov Blanket of a target variable T from training data. The Markov Blanket can be used for variable selection for classification,… (More)
We present an algorithmic framework for learning local caus al structure around target variables of interest in the form of direct causes/effects and Markov bla nkets applicable to very large data… (More)
MOTIVATION
Cancer diagnosis is one of the most important emerging clinical applications of gene expression microarray technology. We are seeking to develop a computer system for powerful and reliable… (More)
UNLABELLED
We introduce a novel, sound, sample-efficient, and highly-scalable algorithm for variable selection for classification, regression and prediction called HITON. The algorithm works by… (More)
Temporal constraints pose a challenge for conditional planning, because it is necessary for a conditional planner to determine whether a candidate plan will satisfy the specified temporal… (More)
The Simple Temporal Network formalism permits signiicant exibility in specifying the occurrence time of events in temporal plans. However, to retain this exibility during execution , there is a need… (More)
Data Mining with Bayesian Network learning has two important characteristics: under conditions learned edges between variables correspond to casual influences, and second, for every variable T in the… (More)
In part I of this work we introduced and evaluated the G neralized Local Learning (GLL) framework for producing local causal and Markov blanket inductio n algorithms. In the present second part we… (More)
