I posted this yesterday, but I should have noted that my Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is free to download for the next four weeks. Get amongst it!

My long-in-preparation Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is now available.

Abstract: Reasoning from inconclusive evidence, or 'induction', is central to science and any applications we make of it. For that reason alone it demands the attention of philosophers of science. This element explores the prospects of using probability theory to provide an inductive logic: a framework for representing evidential support. Constraints on the ideal evaluation of hypotheses suggest that the overall standing of a hypothesis is represented by its probability in light of the total evidence, and incremental support, or confirmation, indicated by the hypothesis having a higher probability conditional on some evidence than it does unconditionally. This proposal is shown to have the capacity to reconstruct many canons of the scientific method and inductive inference. Along the way, significant objections are discussed, such as the challenge of inductive scepticism, and the objection that the probabilistic approach makes evidential support arbitrary.
A shibboleth is a custom, such as a choice of phrasing, that distinguishes one group of people from another. The term goes back to the Hebrew Bible, in which the inhabitants of Gilead identify members of the tribe of Ephraim by the way they pronounce the word “shibboleth” (Hebrew for the part of the

A post promising a series about #quantum #bayesianism. So far so good, this is worth reading to see where it's headed.
The No Free lunch theorem implies that we need #Bayesianism
Ok, let me explain. The fact that there cannot be a general purpose algorithm for everything means that we need a prior to solve a certain problem.
Imagine for example that you want to deblur an image, the more a priori you have, the best you will perform. Is it a face or some text? what is the font? what is the language? what is the type or blur (Gaussian kernel, pixelisation, etc)?
