Abstract

This talk presents a brief overview of methods for learning Bayesian networks. It discusses on recent methods and theoretical results to speed up computations and to improve accuracy, leading to an approach which can deal with many thousands of variables. Applications arising in biomedical problems are described, where it is argued that Bayesian networks can provide meaningful and interpretable results. In particular, we discuss on the use of Bayesian networks for data imputation, unsupervised clustering and classification using high-dimensional data sets of lymphoma patients.
