摘要翻译：
考虑了从数据中学习最优路径图形模型的问题，并证明了最大似然法、最小描述长度法和贝叶斯法的NP难问题。尽管这个问题是寻找最优树图模型的多项式可解问题的限制，但这个结果仍然成立。

英文摘要：
  I consider the problem of learning an optimal path graphical model from data and show the problem to be NP-hard for the maximum likelihood and minimum description length approaches and a Bayesian approach. This hardness result holds despite the fact that the problem is a restriction of the polynomially solvable problem of finding the optimal tree graphical model.
