Bayesianism and inference to the best explanation [PDF]
Bayesianism and Inference to the best explanation (IBE) are two different models of inference. Recently there has been some debate about the possibility of “bayesianizing” IBE.

Reverse Bayesianism and act independence [PDF]
Karni and Vierø (2013) propose a model of belief revision under growing awareness-reverse Bayesianism-which posits that as a person becomes aware of new acts, consequences , or act-consequence links, she revises her beliefs over an expanded state space ...

Abstract In this note we present a fully information theoretic approach to renormalization inspired by Bayesian statistical inference, which we refer to as Bayesian renormalization. The main insight of Bayesian renormalization is that the Fisher metric defines a correlation length that plays the role of an emergent renormalization group (

How Bayesian should Bayesian optimisation be? [PDF]
Bayesian optimisation (BO) uses probabilistic surrogate models - usually Gaussian processes (GPs) - for the optimisation of expensive black-box functions. At each BO iteration, the GP hyperparameters are fit to previously-evaluated data by maximising the marginal likelihood.

Bayesian Approach to Linear Bayesian Networks
This study proposes the first Bayesian approach for learning high-dimensional linear Bayesian networks. The proposed approach iteratively estimates each element of the topological ordering from backward and its parent using the inverse of a partial covariance matrix.

The measurement problem in Quantum Mechanics: Convivial Solipsism [PDF]
The problem of measurement is often considered an inconsistency inside the quantum formalism. Many attempts to solve (or to dissolve) it have been made since the inception of quantum mechanics.

The Bayesian lens and Bayesian blinkers
I discuss the benefits of looking through the ‘Bayesian lens’ (seeking a Bayesian interpretation of ostensibly non-Bayesian methods), and the dangers of wearing ‘Bayesian blinkers’ (eschewing non-Bayesian methods as a matter of philosophical principle).

Statistical foundations of ecological rationality
If we reassess the rationality question under the assumption that the uncertainty of the natural world is largely unquantifiable, where do we end up? In this article the author argues that we arrive at a statistical, normative, and cognitive theory of ...
