Bio

I'm a Ph.D. student at IDSIA, working in the IPG (Imprecise Probability Group).

My research topic is Bayesian network structure learning. You can take a look to my work below or in my scholar.

Software

I developed a web-service for learning the structure of a Bayesian network from data: BLIP.

Thanks to the state-of-the-art methods developed during my studies it can process datasets with thousands of variables in few hours, either in the general case or with a bound on the treewidth!
