A Hybrid Approach to Discover Bayesian Networks From Databases Using Evolutionary Programming Man Leung Wong, Shing Yan Lee, and Kwong-Sak Leung   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Main-Track Regular Papers Abstract , which uses EP for network learning. The empirical results illustrate that the new approach has better performance. We apply the approach to a data sets of direct marketing and compare the performance of the evolved Bayesian net-works obtained by the new algorithm with the models gen-erated by other methods. In the comparison, the induced Bayesian networks produced by the new algorithm outper-form the other models. DiSC'03 © 2003 Association for Computing Machinery
