> Then, in the late 1980s--spurred by the early work of Judea Pearl, a professor of computer science at UCLA, and breakthrough mathematical equations by Danish researchers--AI researchers discovered that Bayesian networks offered an efficient way to deal with the lack or ambiguity of information that has hampered previous systems. The "mathematical equations by Danish researchers", for those interested, are most likely this paper: Lauritzen, S.L. and Spiegelhalter, D.J.
