Causality Enabled Compositional Modelling of Bayesian Networks

چکیده
Probabilistic abduction extends conventional symbolic abductive reasoning with Bayesian inference methods. This allows for the uncertainty underlying implications to be expressed with probabilities as well as assumptions, thus complementing the symbolic approach in situations where the use of a complete list of assumptions underlying inferences is not practical. However, probabilistic abduction has been of little use in first principle-based applications, such as abductive diagnosis, largely because no methods are available to automate the construction of probabilistic models, such as Bayesian networks (BNs). This paper addresses this issue by proposing a compositional modelling method for BNs.

Usefulness of Bayesian networks in epidemiological studies
Medicina Balear 2014; 29 (3): 10-17 Bayesian networks (BNs)16, 25 also referred to as causal networks or beliefs networks, are a form of statistical modelling which allow us to obtain a graphical network describing the dependencies and conditional independencies from empirical data. They have proven to be a promising tool for discovering relationships9, they capture the way an expert understand...
متن کاملTemporal Predictions with Bayesian Compositional Hierarchies
In this note I describe a novel approach to modelling and exploiting probabilistic dependencies in compositional hierarchies for model-based scene interpretation. I present Bayesian Compositional Hierarchies (BCHs) which capture all probabilistic information about the objects of a compositional hierarchy in object-centered aggregate representations. BCHs extend typical Bayesian Network models b...
متن کاملCompositional Modelling of Hydrodynamic Plants in Simulink∗
In this work, we report on efforts for building a prototype simulink library for compositional modelling of hydrodynamic networks. The work is inspired by a cooperation with the EDF, where the desire for compositional modelling in a causal framework was exposed. The nature of the dynamics of hydrodynamic systems itself is compositional, and it is desirable to profit from this compositionality f...
متن کاملDiscovering Bayesian Causality among Visual Events in a Complex Outdoor Scene
Modelling events is one of the key problems in dynamic scene understanding when salient and autonomous visual changes occurring in a scene need to be characterised as a set of different object temporal events. we propose an approach to understand complex outdoor scenarios which is based on modelling temporally correlated events using Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs). A Partially Coupled Hidden ...
متن کاملRecursive Causality in Bayesian Networks and Self-Fibring Networks
So causal models need to be able to treat causal relationships as causes and effects. This observation motivates an extension the Bayesian network causal calculus (Section 2) to allow nodes that themselves take Bayesian networks as values. Such networks will be called recursive Bayesian networks (Section 3). Because recursive Bayesian networks make causal and probabilistic claims at different l...
