Give your computer a break. Does it really have to give you the right answer every single time? Can't it be allowed to screw up once in a while? Rice University computer science professor Krishna ...

When you’re programming an artificial intelligence application, you’re usually building statistical models that output discrete values. Is that image a human face? Whose face is it? Is that face ...

Among many proposed new device concepts and architectural designs, there is increasing interest in a fundamentally different form of brain-like logic based on probabilistic inference that is far more ...

A DARPA-funded processor start-up has made bold claims about a new kind of processor that computes using probabilities, rather than the traditional ones and zeroes of conventional processors. Lyric ...

To achieve the goal of experimentally demonstrating the p-bit, two critical material related issues have to be addressed. i) For the read unit to be able to provide an electrical signal to the next ...

We told you last month about a new form of low-energy computer chips called PCMOS, which use “probabilistic logic” instead of Boolean. It looks like it will actually be implemented for use by ...
