Bayesian inference is a popular machine learning technique that allows for an algorithm to make predictions based on prior beliefs [1]. In Bayesian inference, the posterior distribution of predictors (derived from observed data) is updated based on new evidence. I will explore the various benefits of Bayesian inference and provide an overview of how it can be used in machine learning. Additionally, I will go over some common applications of Bayesian inference and discuss some of the challenges that have been faced when using this technique.
Bayesian inference is a probabilistic approach to machine learning that provides estimates of the… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
