Why is there a glaring typo in the first sentence of the abstract?
"In this paper, it is argued that probability theory, when
used correctly, is suffrcient for the task of reasoning under uncertainty."
- xtacy 9y agoThe paper is probably OCRed.
- mcny 9y agoWe can fix it. I have started a git repo for this https://github.com/michaelchristophernewyork/probability https://github.com/michaelchristophernewyork/probability please help clean up if you have time.
- mturmon 9y agoGood point. The rendering of "sufficient" probably uses the triple-ligature for "ffi", where all 3 characters are merged. The author, Peter Cheeseman, is a reputable figure and a solid practitioner. I'm sure he's just as annoyed that, on the second page, his own name is misspelled as "Cheesemart" ;-). People may recognize him as a co-creator of the AutoClass software for Bayesian clustering, which was very popular in the late 1990s - the explanatory paper has 1700 citations.
- anonymousiam 9y agoAuthor's name is also misspelled in the header on one of the early pages. It's obviously been scanned and OCRed.
