"A Bayesian network, also known as the bayes network, belief network, bayesian model, decision network, or probabilistic directed acyclic graphical model is a probabilistic graphical model which represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies through a directed acyclic graph (aka DAG). The networks is also ideal for taking an event which occurred and then predicting the likelihood that any one of several possible known causes was the contributing factor. 

Many of the times efficient algorithms perform inference and learning in Bayesian networks, and these networks that model sequences of variables (like speech signals or protein sequences) are known as the dynamic Bayesian networks. Generalizations of Bayesian networks also represents and solve decision problems under uncertainty are called influence diagrams."
