Overview
Explore the fundamental concepts of probability in this 43-minute tutorial from the MIT BMM Summer Course 2018, presented by Andrei Barbu. Dive into topics such as uncertainty, maximizing rewards, means and variances, Bayesian reasoning, and probability distributions including Gaussians and Poisson. Examine graphical models, hidden Markov models, and Markov chains, while learning about their applications in areas like formant analysis. Gain a comprehensive understanding of probability theory and its practical implications through experiments and real-world examples.
