贝叶斯网络的概率推理领域在过去三十年中取得了卓有成效的进步，产生了大量丰富的文献。从 Pearl 1988 年那本颇具影响力的书开始，现在已经有十几本书涵盖了该领域的不同主题。这些书籍在二十年的时间里陆续出版，涵盖了撰写本文时该领域的最新发展。此外，随着该领域足够成熟以对人工智能实践产生更广泛的影响，有必要让关键结果更容易被该领域的研究人员之外的更广泛的受众所获取。因此，新出版的书籍越来越吸引更广泛的读者。 Adnan Darwiche 所著的《Modeling and Reasoning with Bayesian Networks》一书就是这一趋势的一个很好的例子。本书对贝叶斯网络概率推理的表征和计算问题提供了全面、易于理解和先进的处理。 Adnan Darwiche 是一位领先的研究员，负责书中介绍的许多技术。这本书包含十八章，在我看来，它们可以根据主题分为六组，尽管达维奇没有进行这样的划分。每组中的章节不一定在书中相邻。
The field of probabilistic reasoning with Bayesian networks has experienced fruitful advancement in the last three decades, generating a large body of rich literature. Beginning with Pearl’s influential 1988 book, there have been now over a dozen books that cover the diverse topics in this field. These books, successively published over a two-decade period, cover the latest development of the field at the time of the writing. Furthermore, as the field sufficiently matures to have a broader impact on AI practice, it is necessary to make the key results more accessible to a broader audience beyond researchers specialized in the field. As a result, newly published books increasingly appeal better to a wider readership. The book Modeling and Reasoning with Bayesian Networks by Adnan Darwiche is an excellent example of this trend. The book provides a comprehensive, accessible and advanced treatment of the representational and computational issues surrounding probabilistic reasoning with Bayesian Networks. Adnan Darwiche is a leading researcher and is responsible for a number of techniques presented in the book. The book contains eighteen chapters which can be partitioned, in my opinion, into six groups according to their topics, although Darwiche makes no such partition. Chapters in each group are not necessarily adjacent in the book.
