Tutorial on Learning Bayesian Networks for Complex Relational Data

Presenters: Oliver Schulte and Ted Kirkpatrick

Duration: 4 hours (including 30 min break)

Intended Audience: Researchers with a background in machine learning who wish to apply machine learning to relational data, by combining graphical probabilistic models with first-order logic.
