Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Construct a factor graph for a scenario involving weather conditions affecting activity choices (e.g., rain, snow, or sunny conditions leading to sports, reading, or indoor activities).

💡 Hint: Consider how various weather impacts what activities are chosen.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the effectiveness of factor graphs over traditional Bayesian networks in modeling complex multi-variable scenarios.

💡 Hint: Compare their structures to see the differences.
