Bayesian network structure learning by opposition-based learning by Baodan Sun, Xinyi Zhang, Junhui Jiang, Jianguang Gong, Dan Lin

“…In this paper, we propose a new Bayesian network structure learning algorithm, OP-PSO-DE, which combines Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) and Differential Evolution to search for the optimal structure. Since the computation complexity of BN structure learning increases exponentially with the number of nodes, the proposed algorithm incorporates opposition-based learning to narrow the search space of heuristic algorithms, which can effectively accelerate the searching process. …”
