A Bayesian truth serum for subjective data (pdf)
A scoring method for eliciting truthful subjective data in situations where objective truth is unknowable. The method assigns high scores not to the most common answers but to the answers that are more common than collectively predicted.

Some history of the hierarchical Bayesian methodology
"I think the predominant philosophy [in the mid of the 21st century] will be a Bayes/non-Bayes synthesis or compromise, and that the Bayesian part will be mostly hierarchical." -- I. J. Good, 1980!

Dirichlet Processes, Chinese Restaurant Processes, and all that
On nonparametric Bayesian modeling and inference, including various versions of "Chinese restaurant process priors" that allow flexible structures to be learned and that allow sharing of statistical strength among sets of related structures.

Dempster-Shafer theory
A generalization of the Bayesian theory of subjective probability which does not require exact probabilities for each question of interest; can yield answers which contradict those arrived at using probability theory.

On Universal Prediction and Bayesian Confirmation (Marcus Hutter)
Universal prediction, i.e. Bayesian framework + Solomonoff prior + model class of all computable sequences, solves/avoids foundational problems of inductive inference, but has to be compromised in practice.

Bayesian models of human inductive learning (talk by Josh Tenenbaum)
Convinced me that Bayesian inference over hierarchies of flexibly structured representations is a good model of human inductive learning.

Bayesianism and Causality, or, Why I am only a Half-Bayesian (Judea Pearl)
"The bulk of human knowledge is organized around causal, not probabilistic relationships, and the grammar of probability calculus is insufficient for capturing those relationships."

Optimal Predictions in Everyday Cognition (pdf)
"Our results suggest that everyday cognitive judgments follow the same optimal statistical principles as perception and memory, and reveal a close correspondence between people’s implicit probabilistic models and the statistics of the world."

The Importance of Saying "Oops" (Overcoming Bias)
Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is necessarily a change. If we only admit small local errors, we will only make small local changes. We could move so much faster.

Two envelopes problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The two envelopes problem is a puzzle or paradox within the subjectivistic interpretation of probability theory; more specifically within Bayesian decision theory. This is still an open problem among the subjectivists as no consensus has been reached yet.

Cox's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the justifications for the use of Bayesian probability theory. Probability is interpreted as a formal system of logic, the natural extension of Aristotelian logic into the realm of reasoning in the presence of uncertainty.

Bayesian inference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bayesian inference is statistical inference in which evidence or observations are used to update or to newly infer the probability that a hypothesis may be true.
