Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...

Uncertainty is an intrinsic part of neural computation, whether for sensory processing, motor control or cognitive reasoning. For instance, it is impossible to determine with certainty the age of a ...

How do human beings perceive their environment and take their decisions? To successfully interact with the immediate environment, for human beings it is not enough to have basic evidence of the world ...

Imagine walking along in the African savanna. Suddenly you notice a moving bush partially obscuring a large yellow object. From this limited information, you need to figure out if you’re in danger and ...

(Medical Xpress)—Located at the forward end of the brain's frontal lobe, the mammalian prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the seat of many of our most unique cognitive abilities – collectively referred to as ...

Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagrams (PSDDs) are an elegant framework for learning from and reasoning about data. They provide tractable representations of discrete probability distributions ...

A collaboration including the University of Oxford, University of British Columbia, Intel, New York University, CERN, and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center is working to make it ...
