• Abstract: Learning a Bayesian network is an NP-hard problem and with an increase in the number of nodes, classical algorithms for learning the structure of Bayesian networks become inefficient. In recent years, some methods and algorithms for learning Bayesian networks with a high number of nodes (more than 50) were developed. But these solutions have their disadvantages, for instance, they only operate one type of data (discrete or continuous) or their algorithm has been created to meet a specific nature of data (medical, social, etc.). The article presents a BigBraveBN algorithm for learning large Bayesian Networks with a high number of nodes (over 100). The algorithm utilizes the Brave coefficient that measures the mutual occurrence of instances in several groups. To form these groups, we use the method of nearest neighbours based on the Mutual information (MI) measure. In the experimental part of the article, we compare the performance of BigBraveBN to other existing solutions on multiple data sets both discrete and continuous. The experimental part also represents tests on real data. The aforementioned experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the BigBraveBN algorithm in structure learning of Bayesian Networks.

  Decentralized federated learning (DFL) has gained popularity due to its practicality across various applications. Compared to the centralized version, training a shared model among a large number of nodes in DFL is more challenging.

  We propose a new learning framework for neural networks, namely Cascaded Forward (CaFo) algorithm, which does not rely on BP optimization as that in FF. Unlike FF, our framework directly outputs label distributions at each cascaded block, which does not require generation of additional negative samples. In our framework each block can be trained independently, so it can be easily deployed into parallel acceleration systems.

Results have shown the effectiveness of O'Gorman's formulation for BNSL instances of small sizes, and the superiority of the divide et impera approach on the direct execution of O'Gorman's algorithm.

  This paper applies learning to the two key sub-tasks of a MIP solver, generating a high-quality joint variable assignment, and bounding the gap in objective value between that assignment and an optimal one. Our approach constructs two corresponding neural network-based components, Neural Diving and Neural Branching, to use in a base MIP solver such as SCIP. We evaluate our approach on six diverse real-world datasets, including two Google production datasets and MIPLIB, by training separate neural networks on each.
