A hybrid algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning with application to multi-label learning

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel hybrid algorithm to learn a local Bayesian network structure around a target variable is proposed.

• Well known benchmarks with various data sizes are first used to assess the quality of the learned structure.

• The ability of this algorithm to solve the multi-label learning problem is then investigated.

• The idea is to learn the independence map of the joint distribution of the label set conditioned on the input features.

• Experiments support the conclusions that local structural learning is well suited to multi-label learning.
