Springer Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods Proceedings 105

Explore the advanced developments in Bayesian probability theory through this comprehensive collection of proceedings from the 18th International Workshop on Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods. Held in Garching, Germany in 1998, this volume is part of the Fundamental Theories of Physics series (Volume 105) by Springer. This book follows a long-standing tradition of academic exchange that began in 1978 with Edwin T. Jaynes and Myron Tribus. Since the first workshop in 1981, these meetings have evolved from discussing fundamental concepts to addressing realistic and challenging applications. This specific volume captures the transition toward practical usage in technical fields. Researchers and students in computer science, AI, and machine learning will find value in the technical aspects and applications discussed by experts. It serves as a vital record of how Bayesian methods and maximum entropy principles have been applied to complex problems over decades of international collaboration.
