Abstract
Philosophy of probability is one of the big problem in science
discussed so far.
In this talk I first review the history of philosophy of probability.
Then I introduce theory of algorithmic randomness and its
related topic, which is produced by the study of the mathematical
formalization of probability.
Finally I discuss the notion of probability from the algorithmic
point of view by seeing the results that has got recently.

The limit of prediction and randomness

Title
The limit of prediction and randomness

Type
Talk at CS seminar in RIMS, Kyoto University on 26 Apr 2012.

Abstract
The former half is about the relation between differentiability and randomness.
I talk about why more computability is needed to characterize Schnorr randomness by differentiability.
The latter half is about the relation between Solomonoff’s induction and the differentiability.
I use a little different setting from Solomonoff’s induction to get a Schnorr randomness version
with long prediction.
I talk more about future work.
