Bayes Networks
General Information
This page contains information about the lecture "Bayesian Networks". The course is held in winter term 2022/2023 by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse.
Both lecture and tutorials will be given in English. The course is useful for computer scientists, mathematicians, and data engineers.
You should have background knowledge on fundamentals of mathematics and computer science. Also insights into probability theory are highly recommeded.
News
The course starts on 12.10.2022
Topics
- Representation of uncertain information
- Bayesian Networks
- Decomposition of spaces and separation of graphs
- Evidence propagation in probabilistic networks

Lectures and Tutorials
Lectures: Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse, rudolf.kruse@ovgu.de
You'll find the slides of the lectures below. Additionally we provide videos of the lectures on our OVGU Cloud.
Tutorials: Daniel Stelter, daniel.stelter@ovgu.de
All information about the tutorials (such as exercise sheets) are provided on our OVGU Cloud.
Conditions for Exams
A new assignment sheet containing written and programming assignments is published every week. You must vote on for each assignment. This means that you are willing and able to explain and present your solution proposal of the assignment during the tutorial. The solution proposal does not need to be completely correct. However, you should be prepared thouroghly in order to present your solution.
The graded certificate for this course is issued to students who
- regularly contribute well in the exercises,
- submitted at least 2/3 of all written assignments
- presented at least twice a solution to a written assignment during the exercise (this number is reduced in case not everybody can present twice due to number of exercises)
- finally pass the exam after the course
The written exam is on February 1, 2023, 12-14 h
