Stay Tuned - BNet.Builder 2.0 and BNet.EngineKit 2.0 Coming in 2008

Later this year, we'll release version 2.0 of BNet.Builder and BNet.EngineKit. This release will change the way Bayesian networks are created!

BNet.Builder 2.0 features new tools to specify CPTs using just a few parameters instead of thousands, more realistic modeling using pre-defined node types, and better usability based on human-computer interaction and cognitive engineering research.

BNet.EngineKit 2.0 will also contain many new features, such as an API for access to those CPT-simplifying tools available in BNet.Builder and support for Dynamic Bayesian networks to reason about domains that change over time.

We are looking for Beta testers for both products. If you'd like to be one of the first to try the new BNet products, please contact gcatto@cra.com. Be sure to note which product(s), you'd like to test.

Reminder: The Sixth Annual Bayesian Modeling Applications Workshop

The Sixth Annual Bayesian Modelling Applications Workshop will take place during the Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI 2008) conference on July 9, 2008, in Helsinki, Finland. The workshop is an informal forum for those interested in Bayesian modeling. The theme for this year's workshop is "How biased are our numbers?"

Charles River's Dr. Jonathan Pfautz and Sean Guarino are on the workshop committee.
