In 2013, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, an incubator of cutting-edge technology, launched a four-year program to fund probabilistic-programming research.

Those confidence levels and probability distributions are themselves key statistical insights, and a programmer should, ideally, have tools, libraries, languages and application programming ...

Okay, I have to admit, I live in something of a programming language filter bubble—among people I know, probabilistic programming languages are a regular topic of conversation. So I was quite ...

1). As discussed later, probabilistic programming offers an elegant way of generalizing graphical models, allowing a much richer representation of models. The compositionality of probabilistic ...

"Probabilistic" programming can instruct a computer using just 50 lines of code to complete a task that used to take thousands of lines, researchers say. New programming languages are being ...

It is a prototype of how a relatively novel form of programming, called probabilistic programming, could reduce the amount of code needed for such complex tasks. In one test of the new language ...

Looking to overcome these problems, DARPA announced a new program to fund research in probabilistic programming languages. These systems can comb through hideously large amounts of uncertain ...

Scientists have built simulations to help explain behavior in the real world, including modeling for disease transmission and prevention, autonomous vehicles, climate science, and in the search ...
