TY - T1 - Workload-aware materialization for efficient variable elimination on Bayesian networks SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/335891 T3 - IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering A1 - Aslay, Cigdem; Ciaperoni, Martino; Gionis, Aristides; Mathioudakis, Michael A2 - PB - Y1 - 2021 LA - eng AB - Bayesian networks are general, well-studied probabilistic models that capture dependencies among a set of variables. Variable Elimination is a fundamental algorithm for probabilistic inference over Bayesian networks. In this paper, we propose a novel materialization method, which can lead to significant efficiency gains when processing inference queries using the Variable Elimination algorithm. In particular, we address the problem of choosing a set of intermediate results to precompute and mate...
