✦ Synopsis

In this review, I outline the role of probabilistic inference in artificial intelligence, present the theory of Markov chains, and describe various Markov chain Monte-Carlo algorithms, along with a number of supporting techniques. I try to present a comprehensive picture of the range of methods that have been developed, including techniques from the varied literature that have not yet seen wide application in artificial intelligence, but which appear relevant. As illustrative examples, I use the problems of probabilistic inference in expert systems, discovery of latent classes from data, and Bayesian learning for neural networks.

Bayesian inference is a probabilistic inferential method. In the last two decades, it has become more popular than ever due to affordable computing power and recent advances in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for approximating high dimensional integrals. Bayesian inference can be traced bac
