The More, The Merrier?

چکیده
The common belief is that a Bayesian network may achieve better performance with a more complex structure than a simpler structure which usually sacrifice the power of knowledge representation. It is often thought that having some additional nodes than necessary for knowledge representation does not, at least, deteriorate the performance of a Bayesian network. In practice, people often add some unnecessary nodes in order to make the network structure clearer to understand, or to reduce the dimensions of conditional probability tables of network nodes for the convenience of knowledge engineering. However, based on my experience in building Bayesian networks for web service diagnosis, such practice for convenience may cause unexpected results. Adding unnecessary nodes and growing the complexity of a Bayesian network may sometimes result in a worse performance. Such kind of practice should be taken care of very cautiously.

The More the Merrier? The Effect of Family Size and Birth Order on Children’s Education
There is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a trade off between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is little causal evidence that speaks to this theory. Using a rich dataset on the entire population of Norway over an extended period of time, we examine the effects of family size and birth order on the educational attainment of children. While we find a n...

متن کاملThe More, the Merrier: Combining Heuristic Estimators for Satisficing Planning
We empirically examine several ways of exploiting the information of multiple heuristics in a satisficing best-first search algorithm, comparing their performance in terms of coverage, plan quality, speed, and search guidance. Our results indicate that using multiple heuristics for satisficing search is indeed useful. Among the combination methods we consider, the best results are obtained by t...
