IS THERE ANY CHANCE

FIELD: MACHINE LEARNING

by Damiano Imola
INTRODUCTION
Bayesian machine learning has
become a popular topic in recent years
due to its ability to provide
probabilistic predictions and
interpretability.

Bayesian methods provide a framework


for incorporating prior knowledge
(such as expert knowledge, previous
studies, or domain-specific insights)
and uncertainty into machine learning
models, which can improve their
accuracy and reliability.
EXAMPLE

If we are building a model to


predict the price of a house, we
might have prior knowledge that
certain features, such as the
number of bedrooms or the location
of the house, are important
predictors of price.
EXAMPLE

We could incorporate this prior


knowledge by specifying a prior
distribution that assigns higher
probabilities to values of the model
parameters that correspond to
larger or more desirable houses.
INTUITION

In Bayesian machine learning, prior


beliefs are represented
mathematically as probability
distributions over the model
parameters.

These prior distributions are updated


based on the observed data to
compute the posterior distribution,
which reflects the combination of the
prior beliefs and the information in
the data.
ADVANTAGES

The incorporation of prior


knowledge or beliefs is one of the
key advantages of Bayesian
machine learning, as it allows us to
incorporate domain-specific
insights into the model and
improve its performance,
especially when the amount of
available data is limited.
ADVANTAGES

This can be particularly useful in


situations where uncertainty is
high, such as in medical diagnosis
or financial forecasting.
DIFFERENCES

Traditional machine learning


models try to estimate a fixed set of
parameters that can be used to
make predictions about new data.

In contrast, Bayesian machine


learning treats these parameters as
random variables and uses
probability distributions to represent
the range of possible values they
could take.
LIMITATIONS

Bayesian Machine Learning also has


some limitations, such as increased
computational complexity and the
need for careful selection of prior
distributions.
CONCLUSION

Overall, Bayesian Machine Learning is


an exciting area of research and has
the potential to revolutionize the field
of AI and data science.
