The Compilation of Decision Models

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 David Heckerman, John S. Breese, Eric J. Horvitz

We introduce and analyze the problem of the compilation of decision models from a decision-theoretic perspective.

Exact Reasoning Under Uncertainty

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Samuel Holtzman, John S. Breese

This paper focuses on designing expert systems to support decision making in complex, uncertain environments.

Interval Influence Diagrams

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Kenneth W. Fertig, John S. Breese

We describe a mechanism for performing probabilistic reasoning in influence diagrams using interval rather than point valued probabilities.

Ideal Reformulation of Belief Networks

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 John S. Breese, Eric J. Horvitz

Thus, under time pressure, there is a tradeoff between the time dedicated to reformulating the network and the time applied to the implementation of a solution.

Decision-Theoretic Control of Problem Solving: Principles and Architecture

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 John S. Breese, Michael R. Fehling

This paper presents an approach to the design of autonomous, real-time systems operating in uncertain environments.

Integrating Logical and Probabilistic Reasoning for Decision Making

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 John S. Breese, Edison Tse

We describe a representation and a set of inference methods that combine logic programming techniques with probabilistic network representations for uncertainty (influence diagrams).

Decision Making with Interval Influence Diagrams

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 John S. Breese, Kenneth W. Fertig

The output of the algorithm are a set of admissible alternatives for each decision variable and a set of bounds on expected value based on the imprecision in the input.

IDEAL: A Software Package for Analysis of Influence Diagrams

no code implementations27 Mar 2013 Sampath Srinivas, John S. Breese

IDEAL (Influence Diagram Evaluation and Analysis in Lisp) is a software environment for creation and evaluation of belief networks and influence diagrams.

A New Look at Causal Independence

no code implementations27 Feb 2013 David Heckerman, John S. Breese

In this representation, the interaction between causes and effect can be written as a nested decomposition of functions.

Decision-Theoretic Troubleshooting: A Framework for Repair and Experiment

no code implementations13 Feb 2013 John S. Breese, David Heckerman

We develop and extend existing decision-theoretic methods for troubleshooting a nonfunctioning device.

Empirical Analysis of Predictive Algorithms for Collaborative Filtering

no code implementations30 Jan 2013 John S. Breese, David Heckerman, Carl Kadie

Results indicate that for a wide range of conditions, Bayesian networks with decision trees at each node and correlation methods outperform Bayesian-clustering and vector-similarity methods.
