For making probabilistic inferences, a graph is worth a thousand words. A Bayesian network is a graph in which nodes represent entities such as molecules or genes. Nodes that interact are connected by ...

Perhaps the most enduring idea from the early days of AI is that of a declarative system reasoning over explicitly represented knowledge with a general inference engine. Such systems require a formal ...
