Computer Vision

 It automatically incorporates a trade-off between the model fit and the model complexity: – A simple model can only account for a limited range of possible sets of target values – if a simple model fits well, it obtains a high marginal likelihood. – A complex model can account for a large range of possible sets of target values – therefore, it can never attain a very high marginal likelihood. 3 B.
