- SVMs aren't really probabilistic models. They don't need to be thought of in a way that assumes underlying statistical properties of what they're measuring. Many machine learning methods (decision trees for one) are similarly agnostic.
- Reality is a probabilistic process. Brains work probabilistically at least in the sense that the underlying biomechanics have some statistical distribution.
I have the feeling the author doesn't really understand what "probability" means, as he more or less admits.

No, it's us that use these distribution to model them. Reality might be deterministic after all (no proof of the contrary), and then brains are not working probabilistic at all.
- wlievens 13y agoI would think even entirely deterministic systems need to be treated probabilistically if you don't have perfect information.
