Joint Bayesian Inference of Graphical Structure and Parameters with a Single Generative Flow Network

The paper introduces JSP-GFN, a Generative Flow Network that jointly infers the structure and parameters of a Bayesian Network. It sequentially generates a directed acyclic graph edge by edge and then samples the corresponding conditional probability parameters once the full structure is known. Experiments on simulated and real data show that JSP‑GFN accurately approximates the joint posterior and outperforms existing methods.

Genetic Algorithms for Tractable Bayesian Network Fusion via Pre-Fusion Edge Pruning

The paper presents a consensus framework for Bayesian Network fusion that balances dependency preservation with computational tractability by enforcing treewidth constraints. It introduces genetic algorithms featuring advanced initialization, specialized operators, and a tailored fitness function to prioritize shared structures among input networks. Experiments on synthetic and real-world BNs demonstrate that these genetic algorithms outperform adapted methods and greedy baselines.
