A Cure for Pathological Behavior in Games that Use Minimax
Bruce Abramson
The traditional approach to choosing moves in game-playing programs is the minimax procedure. The general belief underlying its use is that increasing search depth improves play. R…
A Sensitivity Analysis of Pathfinder
Keung-Chi Ng, Bruce Abramson
Knowledge elicitation is one of the major bottlenecks in expert system design. Systems based on Bayes nets require two types of information--network structure and parameters (or pr…
A Sensitivity Analysis of Pathfinder: A Follow-up Study
Keung-Chi Ng, Bruce Abramson
At last year?s Uncertainty in AI Conference, we reported the results of a sensitivity analysis study of Pathfinder. Our findings were quite unexpected-slight variations to Pathfind…
ARCO1: An Application of Belief Networks to the Oil Market
Bruce Abramson
Belief networks are a new, potentially important, class of knowledge-based models. ARCO1, currently under development at the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and the University of…
The Topological Fusion of Bayes Nets
Izhar Matzkevich, Bruce Abramson
Bayes nets are relatively recent innovations. As a result, most of their theoretical development has focused on the simplest class of single-author models. The introduction of more…
Deriving a Minimal I-map of a Belief Network Relative to a Target Ordering of its Nodes
Izhar Matzkevich, Bruce Abramson
This paper identifies and solves a new optimization problem: Given a belief network (BN) and a target ordering on its variables, how can we efficiently derive its minimal I-map who…
