Bayesianism as a Whole
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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.

Motivating Objective Bayesianism: From Empirical Constraints to Objective Probabilities
Kyburg goes half-way towards objective Bayesianism. He accepts that frequencies constrain rational belief to an interval but stops short of isolating an optimal degree of belief within this interval. I examine the case for going the whole hog.
متن کاملBayesianism and Information
Bayesianism is a theory of inductive inference that makes use of the mathematical theory of probability. Bayesians usually hold that the relevant probabilities should be interpreted in terms of rational degrees of belief. This still leaves much scope for disagreement, since there is no consensus about what norms govern rational degrees of belief. In this chapter, we first provide an introductio...
متن کاملLocating IBE in the Bayesian framework
Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE) and Bayesianism are our two most prominent theories of scientific inference. Are they compatible? Van Fraassen famously argued that they are not, concluding that IBE must be wrong since Bayesianism is right. Writers since then, from both the Bayesian and explanationist camps, have usually considered van Fraassen’s argument to be misguided, and have plumpe...
متن کاملProbabilistic Sophistication and Reverse Bayesianism
This paper extends our earlier work on reverse Bayesianism by relaxing the assumption that decision makers abide by expected utility theory, assuming instead weaker axioms that merely imply that they are probabilistically sophisticated. We show that our main results, namely, (modified) representation theorems and corresponding rules for updating beliefs over expanding state spaces and null even...
متن کاملSprenger The Renegade Subjectivist : José Bernardo ’ s Reference Bayesianism
This article motivates and discusses José Bernardo’s attempt to reconcile the subjective Bayesian framework with a need for objective scientific inference, leading to a special kind of objective Bayesianism, namely reference Bayesianism. We elucidate principal ideas and foundational implications of Bernardo’s approach, with particular attention to the classical problem of testing a precise null...
