This document discusses Bayesian networks and uncertainty in artificial intelligence. It provides an introduction to Bayesian networks, including how they can be used to represent probabilistic relationships between variables. Judea Pearl received the 2011 ACM Turing Award for his fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence through the development of Bayesian networks and a calculus for probabilistic reasoning. The document outlines the contents to be covered, which include motivational examples of Bayesian networks, decomposing joint distributions, inference in Bayesian networks, and their advantages as AI tools.
