Probabilistic Graphical Models

In my Statistical Relational Learning reading group I have a few slides to chirp in with regarding joint probabilities in Bayesian Networks.  The first slide show has a brief synopsis of what a Bayes net is, and then has a simple probability factorization example.  The second set of slides just lists some different application areas where Bayes nets are in use.  It focuses on biologically related areas, and then summarizes one paper.  Another student is giving the bulk of the talk.
