The experimental results reveal that the problem of partial abductive inference is difficult to solve by exact computation.
Abstract
Partial abductive inference in Bayesian belief networks has been usually expressed as an extension of total abductive inference (abduction over all the variables in the network). In this paper we study the transformation of the partial problem in a total one, analyzing and trying to improve the method previously appeared in the literature. We also outline an alternative approach, and compare both methods by means of experimentation. The experimental results reveal that the problem of partial abductive inference is difficult to solve by exact computation.

Searching for the best elimination sequence in Bayesian networks by using ant colony optimization

TL;DR: This paper investigates the applicability to this problem of a new combinatorial optimization technique, inspired by a natural model, which has appeared recently: ant colony optimization, and is validated by using a set of complex networks obtained from a repository.

Partial abductive inference in Bayesian belief networks - an evolutionary computation approach by using problem-specific genetic operators

TL;DR: A genetic algorithm is used to perform partial abductive inference in Bayesian belief networks and it is concluded that the new genetic operators preserve the accuracy of the previous algorithm and also reduce the number of operations performed during the evaluation of individuals.

Abductive Inference in Bayesian Networks: A Review

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to serve as a survey for the problem of abductive inference (or belief revision) in Bayesian networks by introducing the problem in its two variants: total abduction and partial abduction.
