Objective Probability
A distinction is sometimes made between "statistical" and "subjective" probabilities. This is based on a distinction between "unique" events and "repeatable" events. We argue that this distinction is untenable, since all events are "unique" and all events belong to "kinds", and offer a conception of probability for A1 in which (1) all probabilities are based on -- possibly vague -- statistical knowledge, and (2) every statement in the language has a probability. This conception of probability can be applied to very rich languages.

Objective and Subjective Solomonoff Probabilities in Quantum Mechanics
Algorithmic probability has shown some promise in dealing with the probability problem in the Everett interpretation, since it provides an objective, single-case probability measure. Many find the Everettian cosmology to…
Logic of subjective probability
In this paper I discuss both syntax and semantics of subjective probability. The semantics determines ways of testing probability statements. Among important varieties of subjective probabilities are intersubjective prob…
Rethinking the Objectives of Extractive Question Answering
This work demonstrates that using the objective with independence assumption for modelling the span probability $P(a_s,a_e) = P(a_s)P(a_e)$ of span starting at position $a_s$ and ending at position $a_e$ has adverse effe…
Extractive Question-AnsweringPositionQuestion AnsweringStochastic Weakly Convex Optimization Under Heavy-Tailed Noises
An increasing number of studies have focused on stochastic first-order methods (SFOMs) under heavy-tailed gradient noises, which have been observed in the training of practical deep learning models. In this paper, we foc…
Probability Distribution of Hypervolume Improvement in Bi-objective Bayesian Optimization
Hypervolume improvement (HVI) is commonly employed in multi-objective Bayesian optimization algorithms to define acquisition functions due to its Pareto-compliant property. Rather than focusing on specific statistical mo…
