Previous algorithms for the construction of Bayesian belief network structures from data have been either highly dependent on conditional independence (CI) tests, or have required an ordering on the nodes to be supplied by the user. We present an algorithm that integrates these two approaches-CI tests are used to generate an ordering on the nodes from the database which is then used to recover ...

In : Proceedings of the Tenth Conference on Uncertainty in Arti cial

We present a method for dynamically generating Bayesian networks from knowledge bases consisting of rst-order probability logic sentences. We present a subset of probability logic suucient for representing the class of Bayesian networks with discrete-valued nodes. We impose constraints on the form of the sentences that guarantee that the knowledge base contains all the probabilistic information...

Natural Limits of Arti cial Realities

We propose a preliminary exploration of the outskirts of the research area concerned with the design of arti cial reality systems. Our goal is to clarify the concept of arti cial reality and its connections both with other kinds of computer systems and with the world we live in (natural reality). In order to provide a framework for such a discussion, we sketch a list of dimensions along which t...

In Proceedings of the European Conference on Arti cial Intelligence ( ECAI ) , 1992 A Critical Examination of the Cohen - LevesqueTheory

We examine the formal theory of intentions recently proposed by Cohen & Levesque 2]. We evaluate the assumptions made by this theory and their consequences relative to fairly general intuitions about intentions, especially as they are applied in AI domains. We show that the theory is conceptually problematic and that certain technical claims made by the authors are false or counterintuitive in ...
