A Methodology for Acquiring Qualitative Knowledge for Probabilistic Graphical Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a practical and general methodology that simplifies the task of acquiring and formulating qualitative knowledge for constructing probabilistic graphical models (PGMs). The methodology efficiently captures and communicates expert knowledge, and has significantly eased the model development process for three real-world problems in the domain of robotics.

Rule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks
One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Probabilistic Graphical Models
Probabilistic graphical models constitute a fundamental tool for the development of intelligent systems. They provide a sound and well-founded approach for performing inference and belief updating in complex domains endowed with uncertainty. A probabilistic graphical model is the result of the combination of a qualitative component (a graph) encoding conditional independence relationships among...
متن کاملModeling and Monitoring Dynamic Systems by Chain Graphs
It is widely recognized that probabilistic graphical models provide a good framework for both knowledge representation and probabilistic inference (e.g., see Cheeseman94], Whit-taker90]). The dynamic behaviour of a system which changes over time requires an implicit or explicit time representation. In this paper, an implicit time representation using dynamic graphical models is proposed. Our go...
متن کاملCreating a Bayesian Inference Engine for KAMET
Probabilistic networks have shown to be an important tool to work with probability-measured uncertainty. However, quality of probabilistic networks depends on a correct knowledge acquisition and modelling. KAMET is a model-based methodology designed to manage knowledge acquisition from multiple knowledge sources [1]. After this methodology is applied, a graphical model representing causal relat...
متن کاملSoft Systems Methodology for Implementing Clinical Practice Guidelines in A General Hospital: A study protocol
Background: It is notoriously challenging to implement evidence-based care and to update and improve health care policy. Adhering to evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) serves as the driving force behind making decisions based on the best evidence and making efforts for improving the quality of patient care and outcomes. Despite requiring Iranian hospitals to implement CPGs in Ja...
