Discrete Bayesian network classifiers: A survey

C Bielza, P Larranaga - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2014 - dl.acm.org
We have had to wait over 30 years since the naive Bayes model was first introduced in 1960
for the so-called Bayesian network classifiers to resurge. Based on Bayesian networks …

[PDF][PDF] A scoring function for learning Bayesian networks based on mutual information and conditional independence tests.

LM De Campos, N Friedman - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2006 - jmlr.org
We propose a new scoring function for learning Bayesian networks from data using score+
