Bayesian Reasoning and the Threefold in Judging
How can judges make fairer, clearer, and more structured decisions in dance battles?
This video breaks down a powerful method that combines Bayesian reasoning with the Threefold model—a system that helps judges form and refine their assessments across physical, artistic, and interpretive dimensions.
You’ll learn:
• How impressions evolve during a battle
• Why prior knowledge can distort perception (anchor bias)
• How the Threefold keeps attention balanced
• And how Bayesian logic helps judges update their assessment as new material unfolds
This is not about replacing artistic judgment—it’s about giving it structure and clarity.
