Most recent advances in artificial intelligence—such as mobile apps that convert speech to text—are the result of machine learning, in which computers are turned loose on huge data sets to look for ...

The key idea behind the probabilistic framework to machine learning is that learning can be thought of as inferring plausible models to explain observed data. A machine can use such models to make ...

Analog values called pbits that are processed by probability gates Lyric Semiconductor thinks it is probably time to blend analog and digital technology into a new technology they call probability ...

Researchers can demonstrate that on some standard computer-vision tasks, short programs -- less than 50 lines long -- written in a probabilistic programming language are competitive with conventional ...
