Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm that integrates uncertainty directly into computational models. By embedding probabilistic constructs into conventional programming ...

We present a probabilistic greedy search method for combinatorial optimisation problems. This approach is implemented and evaluated for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) and shown to yield a simple, ...

Sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan argues that while AI stays safely within the lines of probability, our job is to be the outlier. Great writing isn't about being 'correct'—it's about the unique voice that an ...

A phase I trial of nab-paclitaxel/bevacizumab (AB160) nano-immunoconjugate therapy for metastatic gynecological malignancies: MC1371 (NCT02020707). This is an ASCO ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

Here’s a deceptively simple exercise: Come up with a random phone number. Seven digits in a sequence, chosen so that every digit is equally likely, and so that your choice of one digit doesn’t affect ...

Toshiba has overcome this challenge by developing a third‑generation simulated bifurcation (SB) algorithm. This ...

It is a curious quirk of the age that, when confronted with the outputs of large language models or predictive systems, we slip into the language of personality. We say “the AI thinks”, “it refuses to ...
