I've removed this part:
- based on the theories of 18th century English mathematician Thomas Bayes
It's silly. Bayesian networks and Bayesian filtering are standard techniques in artificial intelligence. Though there is obviously a connection to the historical work of Bayes, saying that this work is "based on [his] theories" neglects all the intermediate work.
It would be equivalent to saying that the construction of the Chunnel was "based on the ideas of English mathematician Issac Newton". --Saforrest 21:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
I get the ideal but your comment is not very accurate he was actually a research fellow at Cambridge and worked on Bayesian INFERENCE a method that developed extensively in the early nineties well beyond simple Bayesian Filtering and Networks and what was known earlier. To get a PhD you have to do orgignal work . To know more do a literature search on Dr P J Rayner of the University who ran the group at that time, its interesting stuff
