Bayesian Structure

Bayesian structure learning focuses on inferring the probabilistic relationships between variables, often represented as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), from data. Current research emphasizes developing efficient algorithms, such as those employing generative flow networks or variational autoencoders, to handle the computational challenges of exploring the vast space of possible graph structures, particularly for high-dimensional data and complex models like nonseparable Hamiltonians. These advancements improve the accuracy and scalability of Bayesian network inference, with applications ranging from gene regulatory network analysis to robust model updating in engineering and uncertainty quantification in machine learning.
