For humans and machines, intelligence requires making sense of the world — inferring simple explanations for the mishmosh of information coming in through our senses, discovering regularities and ...

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm for constructing and analysing statistical models by combining the expressiveness of modern programming languages with the rigour of ...

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 ...

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 ...
