Reason about Drone Mission Plans with Probabilistic Logic
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a Bayesian network for drone mission risk, run 20 test cases, and evaluate calibration. Get a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The consultancy (around 30 people, 8 active municipal contracts in North America) competes on the technical depth of its proposals; demonstrating an actual working reasoning component, not just a diagram, is the differentiator on shortlists.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a Bayesian-network reasoner for drone-mission risk and validate it against inspector-curated test cases.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Model uncertain knowledge as a Bayesian network
- Implement exact inference (variable elimination) on a small network
- Validate a probabilistic system against domain ground truth
- Write methodology prose for a non-technical procurement audience
