SMILE 1.5 Released
ProductsBayesFusion releases SMILE 1.5. This release includes rSMILE, a native wrapper for R.
SMILE 1.4 released
ProductsSMILE 1.4 is now available. Notable new features in this release include:
Libraries are available for download now at https://download.bayesfusion.com.
Fun fact: during the full build process we currently compile 60 SMILE variants for use with Visual C++. 60 = 5 x 3 x 2 x 2.
This of course is in addition to many versions for Linux, Mac, iOS and accompanying wrappers for multiple programming languages.
Free BayesBox evaluation available now
ProductsBayesFusion now offers free, 30-day, hosted evaluation of BayesBox. We maintain the server, the customer only needs to upload the networks using browser-based admin interface. Access to uploaded models can be protected by password on request.
Contact us for details.
GeNIe 2.4 released
ProductsBayesFusion releases GeNIe 2.4 today. Users can now define their own functions for use in continuous and hybrid Bayesian models. NoisyMAX and noisyAdder are now fully supported in hybrid models. It’s also possible to download models directly from a BayesBox instance.
BayesMobile released
ProductsWe have released BayesMobile, an application for mobile devices which can be used to perform inference and diagnosis with Bayesian models.
BayesBox released
ProductsWe have released BayesBox, a software for using Bayesian networks in a web browser. To see it in action, visit our interactive model repository at https://repo.bayesfusion.com or a demo site at https://demo.bayesfusion.com.
GeNIe 2.3 released
ProductsBayesFusion releases GeNIe 2.3 with numerous enhancements to the user interface, especially in its learning functionality. Among other improvements, GeNIe 2.3 introduces direct treatment of Noisy-MAX gates in inference algorithms, which greatly improves performance for large models containing Noisy-MAX gates.
SMILE for Visual Studio 2017 released
ProductsSMILE is now available for Visual Studio 2017.
