GP-SUM. Gaussian Process Filtering of non-Gaussian Beliefs by Bauza Villalonga, Maria, Rodriguez Garcia, Alberto

“…This work studies the problem of stochastic dynamic filtering and state propagation with complex beliefs. The main contribution is GP-SUM, a filtering algorithm tailored to dynamic systems and observation models expressed as Gaussian Processes (GP), and to states represented as a weighted Sum of Gaussians. …”

Efficient POMDP Forward Search by Predicting the Posterior Belief Distribution by Roy, Nicholas, He, Ruijie

“…These techniques depend on the ability to efficiently search and evaluate the set of beliefs reachable from the current belief. However, enumerating or sampling action-observation sequences to compute the reachable beliefs is computationally demanding; coupled with the need to satisfy real-time constraints, existing online solvers can only search to a limited depth. …”

A Selected Descriptor-Indexed Bibliography to the Literature on Belief Revision by Doyle, Jon, London, Philip

“…This article presents an overview of research in an area loosely called belief revision. Belief revision concentrates on the issue of revising systems of beliefs to reflect perceived changes in the environment or acquisition of new information. …”

Belief Propagation for Min-Cost Network Flow: Convergence and Correctness by Gamarnik, David, Shah, Devavrat, Wei, Yehua

“…Distributed, iterative algorithms operating with minimal data structure while performing little computation per iteration are popularly known as message passing in the recent literature. Belief propagation (BP), a prototypical message-passing algorithm, has gained a lot of attention across disciplines, including communications, statistics, signal processing, and machine learning as an attractive, scalable, general-purpose heuristic for a wide class of optimization and statistical inference problems. …”

Sensitivity of equilibrium behavior to higher-order beliefs in nice games by Weinstein, Jonathan, Yildiz, Muhamet

“…Without making any “richness” assumption, we characterize the sensitivity of any given Bayesian Nash equilibrium to higher-order beliefs. That is, for each type, we characterize the set of actions that can be played in equilibrium by some type whose lower-order beliefs are all as in the original type. …”

The interactive effect of implicit theory and group influence on moral belief. by Soh, Lay Hiang.

“…It is hypothesized that entity theorists, who believed that moral attributes are fixed and cannot be changed, will not be influenced by other people’s moral beliefs. However, incremental theorists, who believed that moral attributes are malleable and can be cultivated, will be influenced by other people’s moral beliefs. …”

The figure of Hades/Plouton in Greek beliefs of the archaic and classical periods by Sekita, K

“…The main aim of this work is the presentation, characterisation and review of the image of the Greek underworld deity, Hades/Plouton in Greek beliefs of the Archaic and Classical periods, on the basis of comparison of the preserved literary and epigraphic testimonies with the remains of material culture, and the reconstruction of the most coherent possible image of the god, claimed by scholars to be of little importance to Greek beliefs and to have no cult. …”

Dysfunctional beliefs in bipolar disorder: hypomanic vs. depressive attitudes. by Alatiq, Y, Crane, C, Williams, J, Goodwin, G

“…However studies exploring cognitive style in bipolar disorder have not identified the unique patterns of beliefs specific to bipolar disorder. The current study examines whether Mansell's hypomania-related dysfunctional belief scale specifically identifies bipolar disorder patients. …”
