متن کاملReverend Bayes on Inference Engines: A Distributed Hierarchical Approach
This paper presents generalizations of Bayes likelihood-ratio updating rule which facilitate an asynchronous propagation of the impacts of new beliefs and/or new evidence in hierarchically organized inference structures with multi-hypotheses variables. The computational scheme proposed specifies a set of belief parameters, communication messages and updating rules which guarantee that the diffu...

متن کاملAI , Attachment Theory and Simulating Secure Base Behaviour : Dr . Bowlby meet the Reverend Bayes

We survey the early influence of AI within the theoretical framework that John Bowlby formed as the foundation of Attachment Theory between the 1950s and 1980s. We then review recent work which has built upon Bowlby’s framework and is concerned with modelling and...
