Abstract:

This paper discusses multiple Bayesian networks representation paradigms for encoding, asymmetric independence assertions. We offer three contributions 1 an inference mechanism that makes explicit use of asymmetric independence to speed up computations, 2 a simplified definition of similarity networks and extensions of their theory, and 3 a generalized representation scheme that encodes more types of asymmetric independence assertions than do similarity networks.
