讲座内容：

In this talk, we mainly focus on marginal models which are obtained by marginalizing over a single variable from Bayesian Networks (BNs). We show that there is a minimal I-map for a marginal model of a BN under the condition that a topological order of its model structure is given and then we devise a polynomial time complexity algorithm to find such an I-map.Our solution is based on the theory of directed variable elimination (DVE) method which is proposed by utilizing the relationship between conditional independencies of joint probability distribution and d-separation criterion in BNs. The DVE method is different from the existent variable elimination algorithm because it does not have to moralize the model structure of a BN. Additionally, it is more interpretable in terms of the semantics of BNs since here we no longer regard conditional probability distributions as potential functions. In the end, we touch on the problem on how to find a minimal I-map for marginal models of BNs when we marginalize over multiple variables.
