A Probabilistic Approach to Hierarchical Model-based Diagnosis

Artificial Intelligence 2013-02-28 v1

Abstract

Model-based diagnosis reasons backwards from a functional schematic of a system to isolate faults given observations of anomalous behavior. We develop a fully probabilistic approach to model based diagnosis and extend it to support hierarchical models. Our scheme translates the functional schematic into a Bayesian network and diagnostic inference takes place in the Bayesian network. A Bayesian network diagnostic inference algorithm is modified to take advantage of the hierarchy to give computational gains.
