20 STATISTICAL LEARNING . METHODS . In which we view LEARNING as a form of uncertain reasoning from observations. Part V pointed out the prevalence of uncertainty in real environments. Agents can handle uncertainty by using the METHODS of probability and decision theory, but first they must learn their probabilistic theories of the world from experience. This chapter explains how they can do that. We will see how to formulate the LEARNING task itself as a process of probabilistic inference (Section ). We will see that a Bayesian view of LEARNING is extremely powerful, providing general solutions to the problems of noise, overfitting, and optimal prediction. It also takes into account the fact that a less-than-omniscient agent can never be certain about which theory of the world is correct, yet must still make decisions by using some theory of the world.
