- Observe symptoms, evaluate against known possibilities.
- Diagnose.
Probability Recap 1/3
- Probability of event X: p(X)
- p(X) ∈ [0, 1] (0 ≤ p(X) ≤ 1)
- 1 = Σall x p(X)
- p(¬X): Probability that X is false.
- p(X) = 1 - p(¬X)
- Joint probability of X AND Y: p(X, Y)
- Conditional probability of X GIVEN Y: p(X|Y)
Probability Recap 2/3
- Product rule: p(X, Y) = p(Y|X)p(X)
- Sum rule (marginalization): p(X) = Σ yp(X, Y)
Sum Rule (Marginalization)
- Calculates the probability of an event by summing probabilities over all possible values of other variables
Law of Total Probability (conditioning)
- Combines probabilities using sum and product rules:
- p(X) = Σy p(X,Y) (sum rule)
- p(X,Y) = p(X|Y)p(Y) (product rule)
Conditional Probability
- P(A|B) = P(A∩B) / P(B).
- P(A∩B) - Intersection of A and B events
- P(B) - probability B event occurs
Conditional Probability (Weather Example)
- P(W = s | T = c) = P(W = s,T = c) / P(T = c)
Conditional Dependence
- Applications in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Robotics, Computer Vision
Recognizing Street Signs Example
- Understanding what street signs look like is based on prior experiences
Probabilistic Inference
- Compute desired probabilities from known probabilities (e.g., conditional from joint)
- Conditional probabilities represent an agent's beliefs given evidence.
- Observations update beliefs
Bayes' Rule
- P(A|B) = [P(B|A)P(A)] / P(B)
- P(A|B): Posterior probability of A given B
- P(B|A): Likelihood of observing B given A
- P(A): Prior probability of A
- P(B): Probability of observing B
Bayes' Rule Derivation
-Derivation of Bayes rule formula
Bayes Rule using Normalization
- P(A|B) = [P(B|A)P(A)]/P(B)
- Conditional formula
Bayes Rule Example
- Understanding application of Bayes Rules to a detection task
Bayes Rule Example Solution
- A solution to a probability scenario showing how the Bayes Rule formula can be applied
Bayes Rule Example Discussion
- Intuition of Bayes Rules
- Example of a vision system for detecting zebras and applying conditional probability
Conditional Independence
- Unconditional Independence - rare
- Conditional Independence - more common in uncertain environments
Conditional Independence Formulas
- If X is conditionally independent of Y given Z: P(X|Y,Z) = P(X|Z).
Conditional Independence Example (Toothache Example)
- Catch is conditionally independent of Toothache given Cavity
Probability Recap 3/3
- Conditional Probability: P(x|y) = p(x,y) / p(y)
- Product Rule: p(x,y) = p(y|x)p(x)
