bayene

bayene is a Python package for learning Bayesian network structure from a dataset using integer linear programming solver. This is a partial implementation of Bartlett and Cussens (2015), with only a subset of various optimisation techniques originally introduced in the paper. However, the codes are completely independent from Dr. Cussens's reference implementation GOBNILP. Due to several suboptimal design decisions I made while writing this project, the performance is currently worse than GOBNILP even for small-sized datasets. Furthermore, bayene currently only accepts pre-complied score files provided by Dr. Cussens.
