learning and inference algorithms

Post by safaa »

Hello!
if we use algorithm say x for learning baysian network then should we use algorithm say y for inference or it doesn't matter . my point is there dependency between learning algorithm and bayesian algorithm? or if we use algorithm x for parameter learning and algorithm y for structure learning?

It doesn't matter.
f we use algorithm x for parameter learning and algorithm y for structure learning?
There's only one parameter learning algorithm (EM), so you don't have much of a choice.
