Researchers have introduced a novel approach to modeling conditional probability distributions (CPDs) within semiparametric Bayesian networks (SPBNs) by utilizing Bayesian non-parametric Dirichlet Process Mixtures (DPMs). This DPM-based method offers a more compact representation and improved density estimation compared to traditional kernel density estimators (KDEs), leading to reduced inference costs. The proposed DPM-SPBN was implemented and evaluated using the PyBNesian package, demonstrating superior performance in density estimation and structure learning on both synthetic and real-world datasets.
