Manfred Jaeger. Importance Sampling on Relational Bayesian Networks. In Probabilistic, Logical and Relational Learning - Towards a Synthesis. Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5051, pp. 1-16, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (2006) https://doi.org/10.4230/DagSemProc.05051.7

Abstract

We present techniques for importance sampling from distributions defined by
Relational Bayesian Networks. The methods operate directly on the abstract 
representation language, and therefore can be applied in situations where sampling
from a standard Bayesian Network representation is infeasible. We describe 
experimental results from using standard, adaptive and backward sampling 
strategies. Furthermore, we use in our experiments a model that illustrates
a fully general way of translating the recent framework of Markov Logic Networks
into Relational Bayesian Networks.
