The seminar will start with basic properties of probability and quantitative use of conditional notation, including the restrictions on Bayesian methodologies when considered in a frequentist framework. I will then explain how the use of this approach can be used to understand Likelihood as a design principle, and the way that common errors in its use during algorithm design can be identified and avoided.

I will give answers to simple problems which are regularly claimed either impossible or a reason for introducing subjective probability in standard AI texts. I will finish with practical illustrations in more complicated computer vision algorithms intended for robotic, scientific and medical applications.
