How Matroids Occur in the Context of Learning Bayesian Network Structure

Abstract

In this paper we show that any connected matroid having a non-trivial cluster of BN variables as its ground set induces a facet-defining inequality for the polytope(s) used in the ILP approach to optimal BN structure learning. Our result applies to well-known k-cluster inequalities, which play a crucial role in the ILP approach.
