Document Summary
Belief (aka bayesian) networks (bnets) are based on the sound foundations of probability theory. Thus, we introduced some key concepts and operations from this theory. Probability, random variables, possible worlds, joint probability distributions, marginal independence. Simplification of a jpd via chain rule. Definition: conditional probability the conditional probability of a proposition h gives evidence e is: p(h|e) = (cid:4666) ^(cid:4667) (cid:4666)(cid:4667) Haugeland (1997) introduces us to this interdisciplinary field, which resembles cogs: the attempt to understand minds, in part, by designing and building them: psychology by reverse engineering (p. 1) Human intelligence, remains the final object of investigation . Suggests that we should aim for rationality, instead of human intelligence. This question is enacted in star trek in the dynamic between mr. spock and. Should we design systems that act rationally, like mr. spock (or like lieutenant. Humans fall short of perfect rationality, as many studies show. We would not be aiming high enough.
