In this lecture, William H. Hsu reviews fundamental concepts in Classical and Modern Planning, focusing on reasoning under uncertainty. Building on Russell and Norvig's work, we explore probability interpretations, Bayesian frameworks, and conditional planning essentials. Key concepts covered include subjective, frequentist, and logicist views of probability, the Kolmogorov axioms, and Bayesian inference. We conclude with applications in human-computer interaction and decision support, exemplifying how uncertainty shapes AI domains. Next week, we'll move on to advancements in Chapter 14 of Russell and Norvig.

  10. The Probabilistic (Bayesian) Framework • Framework: Interpretations of Probability [Cheeseman, 1985] • Bayesian subjectivist view • A measure of an agent’s belief in a proposition • Proposition denoted by random variable (sample space: range) • e.g., Pr(Outlook = Sunny) = 0.8 • Frequentist view: probability is the frequency of observations of an event • Logicist view: probability is inferential evidence in favor of a proposition • Some Applications • HCI: learning natural language; intelligent displays; decision support • Approaches: prediction; sensor and data fusion (e.g., bioinformatics) • Prediction: Examples • Measure relevant parameters: temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed • Make statement of the form Pr(Tomorrow’s-Weather = Rain) = 0.5 • College admissions: Pr(Acceptance) p • Plain beliefs: unconditional acceptance (p = 1) or categorical rejection (p = 0) • Conditional beliefs: depends on reviewer (use probabilistic model)

  11. Terminology • Introduction to Reasoning under Uncertainty • Probability foundations • Definitions: subjectivist, frequentist, logicist • (3) Kolmogorov axioms • Bayes’s Theorem • Prior probability of an event • Joint probability of an event • Conditional (posterior) probability of an event • Maximum APosteriori (MAP) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) Hypotheses • MAP hypothesis: highest conditional probability given observations (data) • ML: highest likelihood of generating the observed data • ML estimation (MLE): estimating parameters to find ML hypothesis • Bayesian Inference: Computing Conditional Probabilities (CPs) in A Model • Bayesian Learning: Searching Model (Hypothesis) Space using CPs

  12. Summary Points • Introduction to Probabilistic Reasoning • Framework: using probabilistic criteria to search H • Probability foundations • Definitions: subjectivist, objectivist; Bayesian, frequentist, logicist • Kolmogorov axioms • Bayes’s Theorem • Definition of conditional (posterior) probability • Product rule • Maximum APosteriori (MAP) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) Hypotheses • Bayes’s Rule and MAP • Uniform priors: allow use of MLE to generate MAP hypotheses • Relation to version spaces, candidate elimination • Next Week: Chapter 14, Russell and Norvig • Later: Bayesian learning: MDL, BOC, Gibbs, Simple (Naïve) Bayes • Categorizing text and documents, other applications
