Researchers have developed JSP-GFN, a novel method utilizing Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) to jointly infer both the structure and parameters of Bayesian Networks. This approach extends existing GFlowNet applications by enabling the approximation of the joint posterior distribution over these elements, accommodating non-linear models and neural network parameterizations. Experiments on simulated and real-world data indicate that JSP-GFN provides an accurate approximation and performs favorably compared to current methods. AI
