Explanatory Inference under Uncertainty
Abstract. This paper investigates the performance of explanatory or abductive inference in certain hypothesis selection tasks. The strategy is to use various measures of explanatory power to compare competing hypotheses and then make an inference to the best explanation. Computer simulations are used to compare the accuracy of such approaches with a standard approach when uncertainty is present...
متن کاملPerception as Unconscious Inference
Consider for a moment the spatial and chromatic dimensions of your visual experience. Suppose that as you gaze about the room you see a table, some books, and papers. Ignore for now the fact that you immediately recognize these objects to be a table with books and papers on it. Concentrate on how the table looks to you: its top spreads out in front of you, stopping at edges beyond which lies un...
متن کاملPath Finding under Uncertainty through Probabilistic Inference
We introduce a new approach to solving path-finding problems under uncertainty by representing them as probabilistic models and applying domain-independent inference algorithms to the models. This approach separates problem representation from the inference algorithm and provides a framework for efficient learning of path-finding policies. We evaluate the new approach on the Canadian Traveller ...
متن کاملObject perception as Bayesian inference.
We perceive the shapes and material properties of objects quickly and reliably despite the complexity and objective ambiguities of natural images. Typical images are highly complex because they consist of many objects embedded in background clutter. Moreover, the image features of an object are extremely variable and ambiguous owing to the effects of projection, occlusion, background clutter, a...
متن کاملPerception as an Inference Problem
Although the idea of thinking of perception as in inference problem goes back to Helmholtz, it is only recently that we have seen the emergence of neural models of perception that embrace this idea. Here I describe why inferential computations are necessary for perception, and how they go beyond traditional computational approaches based on deductive processes such as feature detection and clas...
