A Bayesian neural network (BNN) refers to extending standard networks with posterior inference. Standard NN training via optimization is (from a probabilistic perspective) equivalent to maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for the weights. For many reasons this is unsatisfactory. One reason is that it...
Bayesian belief networks, or justBayesian networks, are a natural generalization of these kinds of inferences to multiple events or random processes that depend on each other. This is going to be the first of 2 posts specifically dedicated to this topic. Here I’m going to give the general i...
1. the role of tempering Cold posteriors are not needed to obtain near-optimal performance with Bayesian neural networks and may even hurt performance. Cold posterior effect is largely an artifact of data augmentation. 2. the prior over parameters the prior over functions is more important than t...
In defining the rules and making determinations -- the decisions of each node on what to send to the next layer based on inputs from the previous tier -- neural networks use several principles. These include gradient-based training,fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and Bayesian methods. They migh...
Capability to mimic the human intelligence by machines is calledArtificial Intelligence (AI). Popular approaches towards achieving Artificial Intelligence are if-then formal reasoning, Bayesian inference, probabilistic reasoning andArtificial Neural Networks. Human brain inspired Artificial Neural Networks turned...
Neural networks fell out of fashion in the 90s. In that period there were three important advancements in machine learning. One was establishing parts ofmachine learningtheory on Bayesian statistics and integrating it with probabilistic reasoning. The other advancement was the development ofsupport vecto...

interest in all AI faded in the late 1980s as AI hype failed to translate into meaningful business value. Symbolic AI emerged again in the mid-1990s with innovations in machine learning techniques that could automate the training of symbolic systems, such as hidden Markov models, Bayesian networ...

Bayesian logic analyzes statistical models while incorporating previous knowledge about model parameters or the model itself. Linear regressionpredicts the value of a variable based on the value of another variable. Nonlinear regression is used when an output isn't reproducible from linear inputs. With...
