What is difference between Bayesian Networks and Belief Networks?

Question

While reading some articles about Bayesian Networks, I came across many occurrences of Belief Networks.

Do both of these terms mean the same thing or is there any difference between Bayesian Networks and Belief Networks?

Answer 1

Both are literally the same. A Belief network is the one, where we establish a belief that certain event A will occur, given B. The network assumes the structure of a directed graph. The term Bayesian was coined after the name of Thomas Bayes.
