Bayes Net Collaborative AI Research Web Tool. What. Bayesian Network = DAG that models a system Node = variable, edge = interrelation Each node has a local distribution. Paths are taken through the network following the flow of edges These paths build up fancy equations
E N D
What • Bayesian Network = DAG that models a system • Node = variable, edge = interrelation • Each node has a local distribution • Paths are taken through the network following the flow of edges • These paths build up fancy equations • Solving these equations reveals probabilistic relationships • We need: • A.) A graphical tool to convey and manipulate networks • B.) A way to track network evaluations over time and • C.) A way for multiple users to collaborate over multiple networks
Why • Graphical representations of bayes nets can be used to teach AI • Bayesian networks can be very visual, thus lending to a hands-on experience for students • Online software can allow researchers to collaborate • Different algorithms, networks, and data histories can be shared amongst many
How • Starting from a bayes net GUI tool with core functionality, we can add: • Further modeling features • Extra evaluation tools • A suite of evaluation algorithms • Simulated annealing • Sum-product • Pearl’s algorithm • Etc. • The enhanced GUI tool can be extended into a web service, sitting on top of a database containing: • User profiles • Network evaluation histories • Personalized network datasets
