Foundations of Probability Theory for AI - The Application of Algorithmic Probability to Problems in Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence 2013-04-15 v1

Abstract

This paper covers two topics: first an introduction to Algorithmic Complexity Theory: how it defines probability, some of its characteristic properties and past successful applications. Second, we apply it to problems in A.I. - where it promises to give near optimum search procedures for two very broad classes of problems.
