Probability and information theory


Probability theory is a scientific system for speaking to questionable explanations. It gives a method for evaluating instability and adages for inferring new indeterminate statements.

In applications of AI, we utilize probability theory as follows:

  • The laws of probability define how AI frameworks ought to reason, so algorithms are designed to figure or approximate different expressions inferred on utilizing probability theory

  • Probability and statistics can be utilized to hypothetically investigate the behavior of proposed AI frameworks

While probability theory permits us to put forth indeterminate expressions and reason within the sight of uncertainty, data permits us to measure the degree of uncertainty in a probability distribution.

Why probability?

Machine learning makes substantial utilization of probability theory unlike other branches of computer science that are mainly dependent on the deterministic nature of the computer system:

  • This is on the grounds...
