Hope you guys enjoy! Few things I want to mention. 1) There was A LOT of information with regards to each of these stories and I obviously couldn't include it all, so just note none of this paints the full picture in terms of all the analysis that these people did. 2) Because of that first bullet point, I included sources and references to every story in the description for those who want more information. (I got a lot of info from one book which I linked at the top of the references). 3) Yes I know the video is really about how mysteries were solved with Bayes' theorem.

The French submarine minerve has been found in 2019

It's fascinating to realize that our brain does this rechecking thing (updating the probability instead of making it zero) automatically and we recheck for our lost keys.

As an EE student this channel is one of the best channels i use to motivate me to study harder

Has someone done a simulation where you compare the best known algorithm with one based on naive intuition, and see how much the success rate improves from using Bayes etc?

It was interesting to see how Bayes theorem applies in a lot of cases. I've used it myself to help clean up distorted electronic signals by suggesting corrections until the CRCs suddenly test true. BTW Turing is closer than you think. He worked with MV Wilkes after the war, and in the 70s I was one of Wilkes last students before he retired.

Excellent overview of some special applications of Bayes Theorem and Bayesian methods. Many thanks for the links to relevant sources.

This channel always changes my perspective towards mathematics and makes my interest in it

Great examples of real life applications of some mathematical statistics mechanics. Very insightful!

Yes I believe if you’re going into a STEM career then math class would teach you many real life applications because the person working to find the lost things are mathematicians. Me, personally will never be able to use this. Maybe in a vague way but not with big numbers,.. well maybe with google and a calculator I could. Ha. Take that math teacher. Regardless if I’ll ever actually use this theory down the road I still find it very intriguing

After studying Naive Bayes theorem, this video hit home for me

Suddenly, John's search reminded me of: schrödinger's cat

Now, I'm gonna think of Bayes theorem everytime that line in non-stop comes up.

I watch your videos whenever I feel defeated by math. Thanks for the awesome content!

quality content 😍

I hope the statisticians in the hamilton/madison case extracted the word frequency from "training data" and tested it on "testing data" or in other words - papers that their word frequency wasn't part of the model training process. If not, the testing process could be flawed and prone to "overfitting".

would love to see some vids on the central limit theorem. i spent years on it with one 50 page book i found on amazon. fascinating.

Nice video you got there :)

Bayes'*

Probably a huge factor would be the fact that what they are looking for is not necessarily remaining in the same place. People can swim away from the high probability places or could actually swim into the high probability area-- this begs a larger question. Should you stay in place when lost (on land or water) or should you move? What can you do to know what decision is best?

Hi, could you do a video comparing engineering degrees in USA universities compared to UK universities?

I heard Bayes Theorem has helped with a lot of scientific discoveries. Can you do part 2 focusing on that aspect?

How do you calculate the initial probabilities to put into the formula tho

Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is a great novel about the whole adventure of locating and seizing the treasure from 9000 ft of water around a hundred miles out to sea. It reads like a detective story, a Clive Cussler adventure and a tribute to science, with a hundred and fifty year old survival romance in the flashbacks to the wrecking. I highly recommend it.

Incredible!

I used to hate probabilities. I still kind of do but after much practice and also seeing possible applications of the maths has given my a greater appreciation for probability theory. I guess now I can actually say I have a love-hate relationship with it.

Both the USS Scorpion and K-129 wreck locations were part of secret Navy missions in the 1970s and 1980s. The first and probably most well known is Project Azorian, where the navy tried to raise the wreckage of K-129. The official stance is that they were only able to raise a small portion of the wreckage. Unofficially they got to the site and realized the hull of the sub was already in two pieces, the were able to raise the larger two thirds of the sub although this was never officially confirmed and still remains top secret. The other involved Robert Ballard's famous Titanic expedition... In reality the expedition was funded by the navy to explore the wrecks of the USS Scorpion and USS Thresher, what ever time Ballard had left over he could look for the Titanic, which he found.

The method you described for finding out who wrote the Federalist Papers is essentially the same as used in many spam filters today.

One of these mysteries is my physics assignment

SAROPS including the first case does not assume that the person lost overboard remains stationary, but moves with the currents and also by a portion of the wind or its leeway factor. SAROPS also doesn’t work at the grid level, but updates the probabilities for each particle. See my illustration at 1:25 of this video.

Sadly none of these could help with the Malaysia Airlines flight #370 case in 2014 (which was I think the most expensive search and rescue mission).

That there existed a significant probability of a human operator who would consistently fail to adhere to the proper use of Enigma I guess could be tied to math. Fortunately, such a weak link was found and exploited. Had all usage adhered to protocol (or something close to ideal usage) things likely would have turned out substantially different.

So they just figured out where he would be (behind ship) and swept it. That's kinda common sense or am i missing something?

As you said system superimpose a grid over the ocean map and assigned each square a probability. To do that we need to use probability and statistics. But if i want to do that what things do I need to learn? Do I need to have strong knowledge on Bayesian statistics? What are the math behind all these?

Fun fact, the team that found the scorpion also found the Titanic wreck on the same trip, the algorithm saved them so much time looking for the sub, they used the extra time to find the ship If dreams

The most important fact about the enigma machine was that it was incapable of encrypting a character as itself. This eliminates a significant number of settings.

I imagine that one could probably tweak this method of assessing the real author of a text in order to create an accurate forgery as well. To edit the forgery drafts until it gives the acceptable probability.
