Bayesian network structures are usually built using only the data and starting
from an empty network or from a naïve Bayes structure. Very often, in some
domains, like medicine, a prior structure knowledge is already known. This
structure can be automatically or manually refined in search for better
performance models. In this work, we take Bayesian networks built by specialists
and show that minor perturbations to this original network can yield better
classifiers with a very small computational cost, while maintaining most of the
intended meaning of the original model.
