Abstract
We present K2GA, an algorithm for learning Bayesian network structures from data. K2GA uses a genetic algorithm to perform stochastic search, while employing a modified version of the K2 heuristic to score proposed networks and improve future generations. We show each component of K2GA, a combination of these components to form the basic algorithm, extensions to the algorithm for improved accuracy, and numerical results
