Then, we will outline challenges and vision for a principled, multi-modal, causality-based rating methodologies and its implication for decision-support in real-world scenarios like health and food recommendation.

Sentiment Analysis Systems (SASs) are data-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that, given a piece of text, assign one or more numbers conveying the polarity and emotional intensity expressed in the input.

We provide a novel scalable and sound algorithm for Markov blanket discovery in LWF CGs and prove that the Grow-Shrink algorithm, the IAMB algorithm, and its variants are still correct for Markov blanket discovery in LWF CGs under the same assumptions as for Bayesian networks.

We present a PC-like algorithm that finds the structure of chain graphs under the faithfulness assumption to resolve the problem of scalability of the proposed algorithm by Studeny (1997).

To address the problem of learning the structure of AMP CGs from data, we show that the PC-like algorithm (Pena, 2012) is order-dependent, in the sense that the output can depend on the order in which the variables are given.

We consider the PC-like algorithm for structure learning of MVR CGs, which is a constraint-based method proposed by Sonntag and Pe\~{n}a in [18].

We propose a directed acyclic hypergraph framework for a probabilistic graphical model that we call Bayesian hypergraphs.

We propose an alternative proof concerning necessary and sufficient conditions to split the problem of searching for d-separators and building the skeleton of a DAG into small problems for every node of a separation tree T. The proof is simpler than the original [1].

In this paper, we review the traditional definition of problem relaxation and show that searching in the abstraction hierarchy created by problem relaxation will not reduce the computational effort required to find optimal solutions to the base- level problem, unless the relaxed problem found in the hierarchy can be transformed by some optimization (e. g., subproblem factoring).

Except for pairwise Markov properties, we show that for MVR chain graphs all Markov properties in the literature are equivalent for semi-graphoids.
