MIT’s scientists claim they can teach a new concept to a computer using a single example rather than thousands. if confirmed, this significantly reduced the requirements needed for machine learning.

Stan is a free and open-source C++ program that performs Bayesian inference or optimization for arbitrary user-specified models and can be called from the command line, R, Python, Matlab, or Julia and ...

Even in this day and age, computer learning is far behind the learning capability of humans. A team of researchers seek to shrink the gap, however, developing a technique called “Bayesian Program ...

The old adage that practice makes perfect applies to machines as well, as many of today's artificially intelligent devices rely on repetition to learn. Deep-learning algorithms are designed to allow ...

Thomas Dullien discusses how language design choices impact performance, how Google's monorepo culture and Amazon's two-pizza-team culture impact code efficiency, and why statistical variance is an ...

The entire tech industry has fallen hard for a branch of artificial intelligence called deep learning. Also known as deep neural networks, the AI involves throwing massive amounts of data at a neural ...
