Example

Visual system interprets incoming retinal signals in the context of existing knowledge of the world. Some issues within this process: (1) signals are corrupted by variability of noise; (2) uncertainity in computation. Brain represents sensory information probabilistically, in the form of probability distribution. Ideal Bayesian Inference Observer: assigning probabilities to any degree of belief abouth the state of the world. Posterior ≈ Prior × Likelihood : Visual perception (Bayesian posterior probability of a scene) ≈ Prior probability of the state × Current input from the eye Vision is an act of interpretation

Thomas Bayes (1701 – 1761): English mathematician “An essay towards solving a problem in the doctrine of chances” was read to Royal Society in 1763 (doctrine of chance ~ theory of probability). Posterior ≈ Prior × Likelihood: a method of statistical inference to calculate the impact of evidence on beliefs. The probability is interpreted as a degree of belief (conditional probability distribution) rather than frequency. In application, the initial degree of belief is called prior and the updated degree of belief is called posterior. Widely applied in Science, Engineering, Medicine and Law, especially after 1950s. Bayes’ Theorem

P(A|B): posterior, the degree of belief in A after B is observed. P(A): prior, the degree of belief in A before B is observed. P(B|A)/P(B): likelihood, impact of B on the degree of belief in A. Bayesian Inference
