Probabilistic Inference in Influence Diagrams
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
This paper is about reducing influence diagram (ID) evaluation into Bayesian network (BN) inference problems. ...
The BN inference problems induced by the mew method are much easier to solve than those induced by the two previous methods. ...
Introduction Influence diagrams (IDs) (Howard and Matheson 1984 ) are a popular framework for decision analysis. ...

This paper studies the relationship between probabilistic inference in Bayesian networks and evaluation of in uence diagrams. ...
We clearly identify and separate from other computations probabilistic inference subproblems that must be solved in order to evaluate an in uence diagram. ...
This work leads to a new method for evaluating in uence diagrams where arbitrary Bayesian network inference algorithms can be used for probabilistic inference. ...

Integrating Logical and Probabilistic Reasoning for Decision Making
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
We describe a representation and a set of inference methods that combine logic programming techniques with probabilistic network representations for uncertainty (influence diagrams). ...
Given a query, a logical proof is produced if possible; if not, an influence diagram based on the query and the knowledge of the decision domain is produced and subsequently solved. ...
Probabilistic Inference Inference is initiated by a identifying an initial goal (the query), Go= (P t1 t2 .... tk), and an empty influence diagram, N. ...

2005
Decision Analysis
s article "Influence Diagrams" has had a substantial impact on research in artificial intelligence (AI). ...
In this perspective, I briefly discuss the importance of influence diagrams as a model for decision making under uncertainty in the AI research community; but I also identify some of the less direct, but ...
Another reasonably direct impact of "Influence Diagrams" derives from its role in the development of graphical models for probabilistic modeling and inference. ...
