Bayesian Belief Network in artificial intelligence


Bayesian belief network is key computer technology for dealing with probabilistic
events and to solve a problem which has uncertainty. We can define a Bayesian
network as:
"A Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model which represents a set of
variables and their conditional dependencies using a directed acyclic graph."
It is also called a Bayes network, belief network, decision network,
or Bayesian model.
Bayesian networks are probabilistic, because these networks are built from
a probability distribution, and also use probability theory for prediction and
anomaly detection.
Real world applications are probabilistic in nature, and to represent the relationship
between multiple events, we need a Bayesian network. It can also be used in various
tasks including prediction, anomaly detection, diagnostics, automated insight,
reasoning, time series prediction, and decision making under uncertainty.
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

Bayesian Network can be used for building models from data and experts opinions, and it
consists of two parts:

o Directed Acyclic Graph

o Table of conditional probabilities.


The generalized form of Bayesian network that represents and solve decision problems under
uncertain knowledge is known as an Influence diagram.
A Bayesian network graph is made up of nodes and Arcs (directed links), where:
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

o Each node corresponds to the random variables, and a variable can


be continuous or discrete.
o Arc or directed arrows represent the causal relationship or conditional
probabilities between random variables. These directed links or arrows connect
the pair of nodes in the graph.
These links represent that one node directly influence the other node, and if
there is no directed link that means that nodes are independent with each
other
o In the above diagram, A, B, C, and D are random variables
represented by the nodes of the network graph.
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

o If we are considering node B, which is connected with node A by


a directed arrow, then node A is called the parent of Node B.
o Node C is independent of node A.
Note: The Bayesian network graph does not contain any cyclic graph. Hence, it
is known as a directed acyclic graph or DAG.

The Bayesian network has mainly two


components:
o Causal Component
o Actual numbers
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

Each node in the Bayesian network has condition probability distribution P(Xi |Parent(Xi) ),
which determines the effect of the parent on that node.
Bayesian network is based on Joint probability distribution and conditional probability. So let's first
understand the joint probability distribution:
Joint probability distribution:
If we have variables x1, x2, x3,....., xn, then the probabilities of a different combination of x1, x2,
x3.. xn, are known as Joint probability distribution.
P[x1, x2, x3,....., xn], it can be written as the following way in terms of the joint probability
distribution.
= P[x1| x2, x3,....., xn]P[x2, x3,....., xn]
= P[x1| x2, x3,....., xn]P[x2|x3,....., xn]....P[xn-1|xn]P[xn].
In general for each variable Xi, we can write the equation as:

P(Xi|Xi-1,........., X1) = P(Xi |Parents(Xi ))


Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

Explanation of Bayesian network:


Let's understand the Bayesian network through an example by creating a
directed acyclic graph:

Example: Harry installed a new burglar alarm at his home to detect burglary.
The alarm reliably responds at detecting a burglary but also responds for minor
earthquakes. Harry has two neighbors David and Sophia, who have taken a
responsibility to inform Harry at work when they hear the alarm. David always
calls Harry when he hears the alarm, but sometimes he got confused with the
phone ringing and calls at that time too. On the other hand, Sophia likes to
listen to high music, so sometimes she misses to hear the alarm. Here we
would like to compute the probability of Burglary Alarm.
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

Problem:
Calculate the probability that alarm has sounded, but there is neither a
burglary, nor an earthquake occurred, and David and Sophia both called
the Harry.
Solution:
The Bayesian network for the above problem is given below. The network
structure is showing that burglary and earthquake is the parent node of the
alarm and directly affecting the probability of alarm's going off, but David and
Sophia's calls depend on alarm probability.
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

o The network is representing that our assumptions do not directly perceive the
burglary and also do not notice the minor earthquake, and they also not
confer before calling.
o The conditional distributions for each node are given as conditional
probabilities table or CPT.
o Each row in the CPT must be sum to 1 because all the entries in the table
represent an exhaustive set of cases for the variable.
o In CPT, a boolean variable with k boolean parents contains 2 K probabilities.
Hence, if there are two parents, then CPT will contain 4 probability values
Bayesian Belief Network In Ai

List of all events occurring in this network:

o Burglary (B), Earthquake(E)

o Alarm(A) , David Calls(D)

o Sophia calls(S)
We can write the events of problem statement in the form of probability: P[D, S, A, B, E], can
rewrite the above probability statement using joint probability distribution:
P[D, S, A, B, E]= P[D | S, A, B, E]. P[S, A, B, E]
=P[D | S, A, B, E]. P[S | A, B, E]. P[A, B, E]
= P [D| A]. P [ S| A, B, E]. P[ A, B, E]
= P[D | A]. P[ S | A]. P[A| B, E]. P[B, E]
= P[D | A ]. P[S | A]. P[A| B, E]. P[B |E]. P[E]
