Probabilistic

Probabilistic refers to systems, models, or processes that incorporate uncertainty and randomness through probability theory rather than producing deterministic outputs. In artificial intelligence, probabilistic models use statistical methods to represent uncertainty in data, predictions, and decision-making processes. Unlike deterministic systems that always produce the same output for identical inputs, probabilistic systems generate distributions of possible outcomes with associated confidence levels. These models are fundamental in machine learning applications including Bayesian networks, probabilistic graphical models, and uncertainty quantification in neural networks.

Probabilistic approaches enable AI systems to handle incomplete information, noisy data, and ambiguous scenarios by expressing beliefs as probability distributions. This framework supports robust decision-making under uncertainty and provides confidence intervals for predictions, making AI systems more reliable and interpretable in real-world applications.
