  • Optimal inference with local expressions

    Creator:
    Borujerdi, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Probabilistic inference using Bayesian networks is now a well-established approach for reasoning under uncertainty. Among many e ciency-driven tech- niques which have been developed, the Optimal Factoring Problem (OFP) is distinguished for presenting a combinatorial optimization point of view on the problem. The contribution of this thesis is to extend...

  • Uses of Bayesian posterior modes in solving complex estimation problems in statistics

    Creator:
    Lin, Lie-fen
    Abstract:
    In Bayesian analysis, means are commonly used to summarize Bayesian posterior distributions. Problems with a large number of parameters often require numerical integrations over many dimensions to obtain means. In this dissertation, posterior modes with respect to appropriate measures are used to summarize Bayesian posterior distributions, using the Newton-Raphson method...

  • Dependent evidence in reasoning with uncertainty

    Creator:
    Ling, Xiaoning
    Abstract:
    The problem of handling dependent evidence is an important practical issue for applications of reasoning with uncertainty in artificial intelligence. The existing solutions to the problem are not satisfactory because of their ad hoc nature, complexities, or limitations. In this dissertation, we develop a general framework that can be used...

  • Monitoring and diagnosis of a multi-stage manufacturing process using Bayesian networks

    Creator:
    Wolbrecht, Eric T.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the application of Bayesian networks for monitoring and diagnosis of a multi-stage manufacturing process, specifically a high speed production part at Hewlett Packard. Bayesian network "part models" were designed to represent individual parts in-process. These were combined to form a "process model", which is a Bayesian network...

  • Representations and algorithms for efficient inference in Bayesian networks

    Creator:
    Takikawa, Masami
    Abstract:
    Bayesian networks are used for building intelligent agents that act under uncertainty. They are a compact representation of agents' probabilistic knowledge. A Bayesian network can be viewed as representing a factorization of a full joint probability distribution into the multiplication of a set of conditional probability distributions. Independence of causal...
