The Power of the Representativeness Heuristic
We present a computational model of the representativeness heuristic. This model is trained on the entire English language Wikipedia corpus, and is able to use representativeness to answer questions spanning a very large domain of knowledge. Our trained model mimics human behavior by generating the probabilistic fallacies associated with the representativeness heuristic. It also, however, achie...
متن کاملRevisiting Bayes’ Rule and Evidence: Notional Events vs. Real Data
The paper undertakes a conceptual scrutiny of Bayes’ rule in terms of the nature and interpretation of its probabilistic components, which reveals that there is nothing obvious or self-evident about it. First, it is not an instantiation of the conditional probability formula because (i) it involves conditioning on the unobservable event (a hypothesis), and (ii) it ignores the gap between Plato...
متن کاملCollective Intelligence Heuristic: An Experimental Evidence
The main intrest of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of collective intelligence in an anonymous virtual environment developed for this purpose. In particular, we were interested in studing how dividing a fixed community in different group size, which, in different phases of the experiment, works to solve tasks of different complexity, influences the social problem solving process. T...
متن کاملQuantum Bayes rule
We state a quantum version of Bayes’s rule for statistical inference and give a simple general derivation within the framework of generalized measurements. The rule can be applied to measurements on N copies of a system if the initial state of the N copies is exchangeable. As an illustration, we apply the rule to N qubits. Finally, we show that quantum state estimates derived via the principle ...
متن کاملKernel Bayes' Rule
A nonparametric kernel-based method for realizing Bayes’ rule is proposed, based on kernel representations of probabilities in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. The prior and conditional probabilities are expressed as empirical kernel mean and covariance operators, respectively, and the kernel mean of the posterior distribution is computed in the form of a weighted sample. The kernel Bayes’ ru...
