This pa- per proposes an immune algorithm based method (BN-IA) for the learning of the BN structure with the idea of vaccination. Further- more, the methods on how to extract the effective vaccines from local optimal structure and root nodes are also described in details. Finally, the simulation studies are implemented with the helicopter convertor BN model and the car start BN model. The comparison results show that the proposed vaccines and the BN-IA can learn the BN structure effectively and efficiently.展开更多

The main advantage of this criterion is that it is suitable for both the complete and incomplete cases while the others not. Moreover it facilitates the computation greatly. In order to reduce the search space, the notation of equivalent class proposed by David Chickering is adopted. Instead of using the method directly, the novel criterion, variable ordering, and equivalent class are combined,moreover the proposed mthod avoids some problems caused by the previous one. Later, the genetic algorithm which allows global convergence, lack in the most of the methods searching for Bayesian network is applied to search for a good model in thisspace. To speed up the convergence, the genetic algorithm is combined with the greedy algorithm. Finally, the simulation shows the validity of the proposed approach.展开更多

To resolve efficiently this problem, a self-organizing genetic algorithm (SGA) based method for constructing BNs from databases is presented. This method makes use of a self-organizing mechanism to develop a genetic algorithm that extended the crossover operator from one to two, providing mutual competition between them, even adjusting the numbers of parents in recombination (crossover/recomposition) schemes. With the K2 algorithm, this method also optimizes the genetic operators, and utilizes adequately the domain knowledge. As a result, with this method it is able to find a global optimum of the topology of BNs, avoiding premature convergence to local extremum. The experimental results proved to be and the convergence of the SGA was discussed.展开更多

If we can find an effective method to predict the cost and quality of software projects based on facts like the project character and two-side cooperating capability at the beginning of the project,we can reduce the risk. Bayesian Belief Network(BBN) is a good tool for analyzing uncertain consequences, but it is difficult to produce precise network structure and conditional probability table.In this paper,we built up network structure by Delphi method for conditional probability table learning,and learn update probability table and nodes’confidence levels continuously according to the application cases, which made the evaluation network have learning abilities, and evaluate the software development risk of organization more accurately.This paper also introduces EM algorithm, which will enhance the ability to produce hidden nodes caused by variant software projects.展开更多

Many existing methods cannot well deal with the cases that contain hundreds of sensors and their recognition accuracy is requisite to be further improved. A novel framework for recognizing human activities in smart home was presented. First, small, easy-to-install, and low-cost state change sensors were adopted for recording state change or use of the objects. Then the Bayesian belief network (BBN) was applied to conducting activity recognition by modeling statistical dependencies between sensor data and human activity. An edge-encode genetic algorithm (EEGA) approach was proposed to resolve the difficulties in structure learning of the BBN model under a high dimension space and large data set. Finally, some experiments were made using one publicly available dataset. The experimental results show that the EEGA algorithm is effective and efficient in learning the BBN structure and outperforms the conventional approaches. By conducting human activity recognition based on the testing samples, the BBN is effective to conduct human activity recognition and outperforms the naive Bayesian network (NBN) and multiclass naive Bayes classifier (MNBC).展开更多
