Abstract

We present a novel approach for learning parametersof a Bayesian network from distributed heterogeneousdataset. In this case, the whole dataset is distributedin several sites and each site contains observations fora different subset of features. The new method usesthe collective learning approach proposed in our earlierwork and substantially reduces the computational andtransmission overhead. Theoretical analysis is givenand experimental results are provided to illustrate theaccuracy and efficiency of our method.
