Quantum Bayesianism: A Study
The Bayesian approach to quantummechanics of Caves, Fuchs and Schack is presented. Its conjunction of realism about physics along with antirealism about much of the structure of quantum theory is elaborated; and the position defended from common objections: that it is solipsist; that it is too instrumentalist; that it cannot deal with Wigner’s friend scenarios. Three more substantive problems a...
متن کاملBayesianism as a Whole
The current paper provides an overview of Bayesian techniques applied to frequently appearing issues in the field of Artificial Intelligence. It covers design of belief systems, reasoning under uncertainty, use in advanced learning systems such as Bayesian Problem Learning and application to various fields. Lastly it touches limitation and disadvantages of such approaches to discussed problems.
متن کاملFoundations of Bayesianism A Note on Foundations of Bayesianism
We discuss the justifications of Bayesianism by Cox and Jaynes, and relate them to a recent critique by Halpern(JAIR, vol 10(1999), pp 67–85). We show that a problem with Halperns example is that a finite and natural refinement of the model leads to inconsistencies, and that the same is the case with every model in which rescalability to probability cannot be done. We also discuss other problem...
متن کاملImpermissive Bayesianism
This paper examines the debate between permissive and impermissive forms of Bayesianism. It briefly discusses some considerations that might be offered by both sides of the debate, and then replies to some new arguments in favor of impermissivism offered by Roger White. First, it argues that White’s (2010) defense of Indifference Principles is unsuccessful. Second, it contends that White’s (200...
متن کاملBayesianism and Language Change
Bayesian probability is normally defined over a fixed language or event space. But in practice language is susceptible to change, and the question naturally arises as to how Bayesian degrees of belief should change as language changes. I argue here that this question poses a serious challenge to Bayesianism. The Bayesian may be able to meet this challenge however, and I outline a practical meth...
