Abstract: There exists the possibility to improve the efficiency of Bayesian Network learning procedures, by selecting as search space the equivalence classes of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), or the more general of Chain Graphs (CGs), and from them we can select an essential graph as representative of each class. Furthermore, we describe and advance some new results, with efficient algebraic tools, as Imsets, Semigraphoids, Matroids and so on.
Keywords: A. I., Graph Theory, Bayesian Networks.
Angel Garrido is Full (time) Professor, belonging to the Department of Fundamental Mathematics, in the Faculty of Sciences of UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia), Madrid, Spain, where he imparts Mathematical Analysis for Physics to his students and does research by collaborating with the research Department of Artificial Intelligence, ETS Ingeniería Informática, also at UNED.
