Title: Learning Bayesian networks: The combination of knowledge and 
       statistical data

Abstract: A Bayesian network can be used to extract and encode knowledge from
          statistical data by using Bayesian statistical techniques. It has 
          been shown to be remarkably effective when dealing with many 
          data analysis problems. Two major advantages of using Bayesian 
          network are its capabilities of handling incomplete data and learning
          causal relationship from a number of variables of interests. In this
          talk, we will discuss how to construct Bayesian networks from prior
          knowledge and how to apply Bayesian statistical methods on data
          sets in order to improve these models.
