: Here is a good link to this topic:

Thanks, Haipeng.

The Friedman and Yakhini paper (http://www.cs.ust.hk/~samee/bayesian/papers/k.ps)discusses a very powerful MDL-based computational learning theoretic (COLT) approach.

I remember the Greiner, Grove, and Schuurmans paper (http://www.cs.ust.hk/~samee/bayesian/papers/ggs-bnpw-uai97.ps) from UAI-97, too.

Finally, the Introduction to Bayesian Inference and BBNs(http://www.cs.ust.hk/~samee/bayesian/intro.html) is a good, general meta-tutorial, with pointers to several recent AAAI tutorials (including[Friedman and Goldszmidt, 1998] on learning BBNs from data). The links are dead, though. Here is an archive of the tutorial on Nir's Stanford page:

http://robotics.Stanford.EDU/people/nir/tutorial/index.html

I also recommend the Breese and Koller general tutorial on BBNs:

http://www.research.microsoft.com/users/breese/tutorial/

(Daphne's tutorial link at AAAI is dead, but the slides on her Stanford page [2-up and 6-up] are still there:
http://robotics.stanford.edu/~koller/BNtut/tut2.ps
http://robotics.stanford.edu/~koller/BNtut/tut6.ps
I guess the Stanford webmasters are just more reliable. :-))

Hope this helps,
Bill
