The Bayesian Reflex: Online Learning as the Autonomic Nervous System of Modern and Future AI
贝叶斯反射:在线学习作为现代与未来人工智能的自主神经系统
This chapter introduces the Bayesian reflex -- an analogy with the autonomic nervous system -- as a unifying framework for online learning in AI. Bayesian online algorithms automatically maintain equilibrium in dynamic environments via three mechanisms: belief maintenance through probabilistic representations, sequential updating via Bayes' theorem, and uncertainty-driven action balancing exploration and exploitation. We survey online Bayesian methods, highlighting two…
