See solution to Oil Wildcatter's Problem with Imperfect Information. Review the Hugin Bayes' Net Software.
14	4-27,4-29	Prof. Theodore E. Cohn, Professor of Vision Science, was the guest speaker on "Human Vizualization". Prof. Cohn suggested students contact him directly to get a tour of his human vizualization lab. His office is 360 Minor Hall, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-2020; Phone: 510-642-5076; Fax: 510-643-5109; Web: http://vision.berkeley.edu/VSP/TEC/. Susan Chao will run a Bayes' Net Lab session in 5101 Etcheverry Hall. The software "DXpress 2.0" has been installed on the NT cluster. It can be accessed through Start Menu -> Programs -> DXpres 2.0. Please contact DECF if you have any problems with the software. The Hugin Bayes' Net Software. is also available on the PCs in 5101 Etcheverry Hall. Use the command sequence: Start Menu->Programs->Hugin Lite->Hugin Lite

He will talk about on-line diagnostics in the automotive industry and a working demo of several Bayes networks using their web hosted inference engine and a downloadable software set. The second speark will be Prof. Marti Hearst in the School of Imformation Management and Systems (SIMS) speaking on her work in text data mining. She is also the developer of the search engine "cha-cha" used on the the Berkeley campus home page and recently features in an article in the Journal Science ("Assembling the World's Biggest Library on Your Desktop", 1998 September 18; 281: 1784-1786). Also see Prof. Hearst's paper "Distinguishing between Web Datamining and Information Access.
