These pages are meant as a help for developers programming against the Hugin C++ API 7.3. Short descriptions can be found for all classes and their members. However, additional information might be relevant for different tasks. In such cases, the Hugin API 7.3 Reference Manual will be a good place to look. It contains detailed documentation of the Hugin C API 7.3 which is the basis of the Hugin C++ API 7.3. The Hugin API 7.3 Reference Manual can be downloaded here.
The Hugin C++ API 7.3 contains a high performance inference engine that can be used as the core of knowledge based systems built using Bayesian belief networks or LIMIDs. A knowledge engineer can build knowledge bases that model the application domain, using probabilistic descriptions of causal relationships in the domain. Given this description, the Hugin inference engine can perform fast and accurate reasoning.
The Hugin C++ API 7.3 is organized as a C++ shared library. Classes and member methods are provided for tasks such as construction of networks, performing inference, etc. The Hugin C++ API 7.3 also provides an exception based mechanism for handling errors. Moreover, the Hugin C++ API 7.3 contains facilities for constructing and working with Object-Oriented Bayesian Networks.
The Hugin C++ API 7.3 consists of one header file and two libraries, one for single-precision computations and one for double-precision computations.
The header file is named hugin on all platforms.
When using the double-precision version of the Hugin C++ API, you must specify the preprocessor symbol H_DOUBLE during compilation (this is usually done by giving the option -DH_DOUBLE to the compiler).
On Windows platforms, each library consists of two files: an import library and a DLL. For the single-precision library, the import library is named hugincpp.lib and the DLL is named hugincpp.dll. For the double-precision library, the files are named hugincpp2.lib and hugincpp2.dll, respectively. In the linking step, you must link against the appropriate import library. When running the executable program, the appropriate DLL file must be accessible in a directory mentioned by the PATH environment variable.
On Linux and Solaris platforms, the single-precision library is named libhugincpp.so (specify -lhugincpp when linking), and the double-precision library is named libhugincpp2.so. When running the executable program, the linker must be able to find the appropriate library file. This can be ensured by mentioning the directory where the library resides in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Several types of errors can occur when using a class or member method from the Hugin C++ API. These errors can be the result of errors in the application program, of running out of memory, of corrupted data files, etc.
As a general principle, the Hugin C++ API will try to recover from any error as well as possible. The API will then inform (by throwing an exception of an appropriate class) the application program of the problem and take no further action. It is then up to the application program to take the appropriate action.
When a member method fails, the data structures will always be left in a consistent state. Moreover, unless otherwise stated explicitly (either in these pages or in the Hugin API Reference Manual) for a particular method, this state can be assumed identical to the state before the failed API call.
To communicate errors to the user of the Hugin C++ API, the API defines a set of exception classes. All exception classes are subclasses of ExceptionHugin.
The following code outlines the preferred method of catching errors when using the Hugin C++ API:
try {
// code that uses the Hugin C++ API
} catch (const ExceptionHugin& e) {
// error handling (here we simply print an error message):
cerr << "Hugin Failure: " << e.what() << endl;
}
The following examples describe how the Hugin C++ API can be used to manipulate Bayesian networks and LIMIDs, and to perform the two different kinds of learning in the networks.
Note that this program loads networks saved in a "flat" network format. The Hugin GUI application saves in OOBN format by default.

The second example describes how a Bayesian network can be constructed using the Hugin C++ API. The Bayesian network constructed consists of three numbered nodes. Two of the nodes take on values 0, 1, and 2. The third node is the sum of the two other nodes. Once the Bayesian network is constructed, the network is saved as a NET file. Finally, the marginals of the nodes are printed on standard output.

Example 3 presents a skeleton for sequential learning. Sequential learning, or adaptation, is an update process applied to the conditional probability tables. After a network has been built, sequential learning can be applied during operation in order to maintain the correspondence between the model (conditional probability tables) and the real-world domain.
After the network is loaded in Hugin, the learning parameters are specified. Then follows the build-up and entering of cases, and finally, the tables are updated and node marginals are printed.

The fourth example shows how the Hugin C++ API can be used for learning the parameters of a Bayesian network. The network is loaded from a NET file, and the parameters controlling the learning process are loaded. Then, the conditional probability tables are computed from data using the EM algorithm. Finally, the node marginals are printed.

The last example demonstrates the Object-Oriented network facilities of the Hugin C++ API. It starts out by creating two very simple networks. Creates an instance of one network in the other. Then it uses the input and output nodes in the instance to connect the two networks, and creates a runtime domain from the class. It ends by printing the origin of all the nodes in the domain.
