Re: [UAI] Question about incremental learning of Bayesian network parameters

First, let us assume you are using a correct online EM algorithm, which updates the statistics recursively. I strongly recommend the work of Olivier cappe on this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.1745 Your only issue is deciding the size of the batch updates. (Since you are applying this to streaming da

Below are a few refs on incremental/ online EM. Some papers focus on mixture models, but the theory can be easily generalized to any directed graphical model. HTH Kevin @incollection{Neal98, author = "R. M. Neal and G. E. Hinton", title = "A new view of the {EM} algorithm that justifies incre

Dear Colleagues, I am working on a system that performs classification tasks from a large continuous stream of data. This system has a fixed Bayesian network structure and applies an EM algorithm to update its' parameters. There are articles mention incremental learning of Bayesian network. H
