  "title": "Trail-Weighted Influence Scores for Approximate Outcome Prediction in Bayesian Networks",
  "summary": "The method replaces full-evidence exact inference in Bayesian networks with posterior computation over a pruned evidence set selected by trail-score thresholding. It costs a trail-enumeration and scoring pass whose runtime exceeds the inference it saves on most benchmark networks, and it carries no error guarantee outside collider-free binary trees with dropped trails on separate branches. It fails when dropped trails share a branch of the outcome node, and the proven bound does not extend to networks with colliders or loops.",
  "rationale": "The technique targets classical Bayesian-network inference rather than the reader's LLM-centric production workloads, and its own evaluation reports no speedup and no advantage over a mutual-information baseline.",
