摘要
One basic approach to learn Bayesian networks (BNs) from data is to apply a search procedure to explore the set of candidate networks for the database in light of a scoring metric, where the most popular stochastic methods are based on some meta-heuristic mechanisms, such as Genetic Algorithm, Evolutionary Programming and Ant Colony Optimization. In this paper, we have developed a new algorithm for learning BNs which employs a recently introduced meta-heuristic: artificial bee colony (ABC). All the phases necessary to tackle our learning problem using this meta-heuristic are described, and some experimental results to compare the performance of our ABC-based algorithm with other algorithms are given in the paper.
