Soft evidence seems to be deleted after updating beliefs

[Robin]

Hi,

while evidence is usually kept in the network once you have entered it, it seems that soft evidence is deleted after updating the beliefs.

In the concrete case, I have two subsequent decision nodes. After entering soft evidence into the network, I update the beliefs. Then I enter the decision of the first decision node by choosing the maximum utility. After that, I update the beliefs again in order to calculate the expected utilities of the second decision. However, now the BN behaves like it does not know about the soft evidence. If I enter the soft evidence again before updating the beliefs the second time, everything works fine. I also noticed that this behavior does not appear in the GeNIe frontend.

Do you believe that this may be a bug or is it a feature that I failed to understand?

Thanks,
Robin

This is a bug. Soft evidence is erased by inference algorithm for influence diagram. The fix will be available soon.

Has this been corrected? If so, where can one obtain the update?

The current public build (2.0.3717.0) has the fix.
