A Simple Method to Evaluate In uence Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
In uence diagrams (IDs) provide a concise graphical formulation for decision making in intelligent agents. In this work, we propose a simple method to evaluate IDs by rst converting IDs into BNs and then applying a junction tree-based inference algorithm. The methods are more e cient than methods in [1, 5] and are simpler than [6]. (

متن کاملProbabilistic Inference in In uence Diagrams
This paper is about reducing innuence diagram (ID) evaluation into Bayesian network (BN) inference problems that are as easy to solve as possible. Such reduction is interesting because it enables one to readily use one's favorite BN inference algorithm to eeciently evaluate IDs. Two such reduction methods have been proposed previously (Cooper 1988, Shachter and Peot 1992). This paper proposes a...
متن کاملA geometric proof of con uence by decreasing diagrams
The criterion for con uence using decreasing diagrams is a generalization of several well-known con uence criteria in abstract rewriting, such as the strong con uence lemma. We give a new proof of the decreasing diagram theorem based on a geometric study of in nite reduction diagrams, arising from unsuccessful attempts to obtain a con uent diagram by tiling with elementary diagrams. 2000 Mathem...

متن کاملModeling challenges with influence diagrams: Constructing probability and utility models
In uence diagrams have become a popular tool for representing and solving complex decision-making problems under uncertainty. In this paper, we focus on the task of building probability models from expert knowledge, and also on the challenging and less known task of constructing utility models in in uence diagrams. Our goal is to review the state of the art and list some challenges. Similarly t...
