AI inference refers to the process when AI models generate predictions, classifications, or decisions based on input data and pre-trained models. It encompasses a wide range of approaches with different computational methods and deployment.
Firstly, here are 5 inference types, based on how the model reasons:
1. Probabilistic inference -> https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.05244 Uses probability theory to reason under uncertainty. The system maintains degrees of belief over hypotheses and updates them as evidence comes in.
3. Logical inference -> https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03393 Uses formal logic to draw conclusions that are guaranteed true if the premises are. It supports theorem proving, logic programming, and tasks needing correctness, like software verification.
