How current BNs fail to represent evolvable pattern recognition problems and a proposed solution

In the real world, systems/processes often evolve without fixed and predictable dynamic models. To represent such applications we need uncertainty models, like Bayesian Nets (BN) that are formed online and in a self-evolving data-driven way. But current BN frameworks cannot handle simultaneous scalability in the model structure and causal relations. We show how current BNs fail in different applications from several fields, ranging from computer vision to database retrieval to medical diagnostics. We propose a novel Structure Modifiable Adaptive Reason-building Temporal Bayesian Networks (SmartBN) that has scalability for uncertainty in both, structures and causal relations. We evaluate its performance for a 3D model building application for vehicles in traffic video. 1
