Colleagues, I am writing to announce the first release of Bayesian Network Tools (BNT), an open-source suite of Java tools for research probabilistic reasoning.
BNT currently includes the following modules: - - Exact inference (clique-tree) - - Sampling-based inference and data generator - - K2 algorithm for structure learning - - Graphical BN editor and interconversion suite - - Experimental GA for structure learning The alpha release of BNT 1.0 (04 May 2002 build) is now on Sourceforge and the binaries are available for download with or without Javadoc by request, from our distribution site. BNT uses the XML Bayesian Network interchange format and a full release scheduled for 04 Aug 2002 shall include tools for interconversion among many formats.
