Judea Pearl states that heuristic methods are based upon intelligent search strategies for computer problem solving, using several alternative approaches.

Causal inference in statistics: An overview, by Judea Pearl (September 2009)

The term "Bayesian networks" was made by Judea Pearl in 1985 to emphasize three aspects:

And Judea Pearl, Daniel's father, said, "Something is fishy.

There were, however, researchers such as Judea Pearl and Peter Cheeseman who argued that probability could be used in artificial intelligence.

Wold's work on causal inference from observational studies was decades ahead of its time, according to Judea Pearl.

Judea Pearl then enlarged the idea by inviting responses from artists, government leaders, authors, journalists, scientists, scholars, rabbis, and others.

"We don't take sides between Bush and Kerry," Judea Pearl said.

The algorithm was first proposed by Judea Pearl in 1982, who formulated this algorithm on trees, and was later extended to polytrees.

Judea Pearl, developer of Bayesian networks, says Gopnik was one of the first psychologists to note that the mathematical models also resemble how children learn.
