  • Parallel generation of a bayesian network
    Patent number: 8005770
    Abstract: A method for generating a Bayesian network in a parallel manner is based on an initial model having a plurality of nodes. Each node corresponds to a variable of a data set and has a local distribution associated therewith. The method includes assigning a plurality of subsets of the nodes to a respective plurality of constructors. The plurality of constructors is operated in a parallel manner to identify edges to add between nodes in the initial model. The identified edges are added to the initial model to generate the Bayesian network. The edges indicate dependency between nodes connected by the edges.
