A symposium on Statistical and Probabilistic Problems in Metallurgy was held in Seattle, Washington, August 4-6, 1971 in conjuction with the IASPS biennial meetings. This is the introductory article ...

Storage, computation, and communication are the three pillars of modern information technology, with computation being the central aspect. The von Neumann architecture, based on the Turing machine ...

For about a decade, computer engineer Kerem Çamsari employed a novel approach known as probabilistic computing. Based on probabilistic bits (p-bits), it’s used to solve an array of complex ...

In school, we are trained to think that math problems always have one correct answer. But this is not necessarily true for problems dealing with probability, if the method used to reach the described ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

Recent work by Peijnenburg, Atkinson, and Herzberg suggests that infinitists who accept a probabilistic construal of justification can overcome significant challenges to their position by attending to ...

From Monopoly to Backgammon to Yahtzee, our first experiences with board games almost always feature sets of six-sided dice. They’re a great way to create some randomness and chaos in a game, but ...
