My research focuses on representation and inference formalism based on probabilistic and decision theoretical graphical models, such as Bayesian networks, decomposable Markov networks, influence diagrams, Markov decision processes, causal independence models, and multiply sectioned Bayesian networks. I study issues on representation, on acquisition by machine learning or elicitation, on effective inference mechanisms, and on multiagent systems. I develop prototype decision support systems for various applications.
