Universal Convergence of Semimeasures on Individual Random Sequences

Hutter, Marcus; Muchnik, Andrej

Description

Solomonoff's central result on induction is that the posterior of a universal semimeasure M converges rapidly and with probability 1 to the true sequence generating posterior μ, if the latter is computable. Hence, M is eligible as a universal sequence pr
