This paper frames cognitive experiment design as a Bayesian Experimental Design problem, using the environment itself as the design variable. Its amortized approach closely reproduces exact Monte Carlo environment rankings while substantially reducing computation, though optimal environments vary by inference objective.
Researchers introduced PIBO, a Bayesian Optimization approach that leverages Optimal Transport theory to handle layout problems where the order of points does not affect the objective function. This method significantly improves performance and reduces computation time for industrial tasks like wind farm design.
This article explores the historical evolution of probability theory and its role in shaping modern scientific rationality. It highlights the limitations of Bayesian inference in handling conceptual vagueness and discusses how fuzzy logic and deep learning complement traditional probabilistic models.
Introduces 2-Step Agent, a computational framework modeling AI-assisted decision making via Bayesian causal inference. It simulates how predictions update agent beliefs and affect decisions/outcomes. Demonstrates that misaligned prior beliefs can lead to worse results than no AI support.
JASP is a free, GUI-based tool that allows users to perform Bayesian estimation and hypothesis testing without writing code. It serves as a user-friendly alternative to Python-based statistical analysis for researchers and data analysts.
Proposes simple notation D ⊙ M(ψ) = p(X ∣ D, M(ψ)) to explicitly capture contextual inference beyond just data conditioning. Highlights context like assumptions and priors in ML/scientific modeling. Seeks feedback on novelty in prob programming and theory.
