TL;DR: This short chapter describes the relationship between computer science and creditions, and shows that any subfield of computer science that deals with data needs to make assumptions, and that these assumptions are nothing else than beliefs or creditions.
Abstract: This short chapter describes the relationship between computer science and creditions, and shows that any subfield of computer science that deals with data needs to make assumptions, and that these assumptions (we call them priors) are nothing else than beliefs or creditions. Two simple examples from computer vision and machine learning demonstrate the effect of priors. Finally, Bayesian inference is introduced as a principle method to handle priors in a rigorous manner.
