Introduction to Bayesian Networks (2-Day Workshop)
Join us for a hands-on, two-day workshop exploring the core concepts and practical applications of Bayesian networks (BNs) — a powerful framework for reasoning under uncertainty. Whether you're new to BNs or looking to deepen your expertise, this workshop blends foundational theory with practical tools and real-world techniques.
- Uncertainty & probabilities
- Networks
- Reasoning
- BN software tools
Extensions
- Decision networks
- Dynamic Bayesian networks
- Equation-based models
- Submodels & object-oriented BNs
Knowledge engineering
- Expert elicitation methods
- Learning networks from data
- Evaluation
- Scaling up
- Integration

Half-Day Workshops
If you're interested in a specific topic or short on time, we also offer focused half-day workshops, including:
- Bayesian Network Foundations
- Bayesian Decision Networks
- Learning and Causal Discovery with Bayesian Networks
- Programming Bayesian Network Solutions
Note: Some half-day topics may require prior experience with Bayesian networks.

Programming Bayesian Network Solutions
We also run workshops on programming Bayesian networks using Java and the Netica API, or Python/R and the GeNIe/SMILE API. Attendees learn how to create software to:
- Build Bayesian networks and decision networks
- Perform probabilistic inference and make decisions
- Generate CPTs from data and equations
- Evaluate networks with predictive accuracy and sensitivity analysis
If you're interested in purchasing a copy of the workshop book, Programming Bayesian Network Solutions with Netica, please see this page for more details.
If you feel you need to learn more about Bayesian networks first, you can attend the Introduction to Bayesian Networks workshop or the half-day Bayesian Network Foundations workshop.
Pricing (AUD):
- Organisational workshops: $1,750 plus $100 per additional attendee (excl. GST)
- Open group workshops: $650 per participant, or $375 for students (incl. GST)
More information:
- Capped at 6 participants to ensure an interactive and personalised experience.
