Machine Learning gets all the marketing hype, but are we overlooking Bayesian Networks? Here's a deeper look at why "Bayes Nets" are underrated - especially when it comes to addressing probability and ...

Some of you may have come across a growing number of publications in your field using an alternative paradigm called Bayesian statistics in which to perform their statistical analyses. The goal of ...

Everyone who spends time with children knows how incredibly much they learn. But how can babies and young children possibly learn so much so quickly? In a recent article in Science, I describe a ...

Bayesian spatial statistics and modeling represent a robust inferential framework where uncertainty in spatial processes is explicitly quantified through probability distributions. This approach ...

When a computer scientist publishes genetics papers, you might think it would raise colleagues’ eyebrows. But Daphne Koller’s research using a once obscure branch of probability theory called Bayesian ...

With so many worlds out there, the question is: How many are home to advanced life? In a paper just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, David Kipping from Columbia ...
