Abstract
En 中文
The application of the Bayesian Structural EM algorithm to learn Bayesian networks (BNs) for clustering implies a search over the space of BN structures alternating between two steps: an optimization of the BN parameters (usually by means of the EM algorithm) and a structural search for model selection. In this paper, we propose to perform the optimization of the BN parameters using an alternative approach to the EM algorithm: the BC + EM method. We provide experimental results to show that our proposal results in a more effective and efficient version of the Bayesian Structural EM algorithm for learning BNs for clustering.
