INF2D: 27: Time and Uncertainty II
This folder continues to present how to calculate inferences of various kinds in probabilistic dynamic environments. It consists of:
- two videos of short lectures. They cover:
- Hindsight
- Best Explanation and HMMs
- Some required reading from Russell and Norvig
- A quiz that tests your understanding of the material presented here.
Please watch the videos or attend the in-person lecture, do the required reading, and attempt the quiz. If there is anything you don't understand, then please ask your question at the lecture or post it on piazza.
