Probabilistic reasoning

  • peech recognition
    • recognize speech and wreck a nice beach
  • machine translation
    • l’avocat general: the attorney general and the general avocado
  • probabilities make it possible to combine evidence from multiple sources in a systematic way.

Meaning of probabilities

  • Frequentist
    • I threw the coin 10 times and it turned up heads 5 times
  • Subjective
    • I believe the coin is fair

The chain rule

P(w1,w2,...,wn)=P(wmw1,...,wn1)...P(w2w1)P(w1)

Independence

  • Two events are independent if

P(AB)=P(A)P(B)P(AB)=P(A)

Adding vs. removing constraints

  • Adding constraints
    • P(walk = yes | weather = nice, freetime = yes, …)
    • more accurate
    • more difficult to estimate
  • Removing constraints(back off)
    • P(walk = yes | weather = nice, freetime = yes, …)
    • P(walk = yes | weather = nice, freetime = yes)
    • P(walk = yes | weather = nice)
    • less accurate but more statistically feasibile
