For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

Unlike the linear sprints of Agile, CAIL is a "contracts-first" framework designed to tame the probabilistic nature of AI ...

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

Abstract: This article studies controllability and observability problems for a class of mixed-valued probabilistic logical control networks (PLCNs). First, PLCN is transformed into the algebraic ...

Life is uncertain. None of us know what is going to happen. We know little of what has happened in the past or is happening now outside our immediate experience. Uncertainty has been called the ...

Imagine a world where your computer doesn’t just work harder but smarter, tapping into the very chaos that surrounds us. It’s not science fiction—it’s the dawn of probabilistic and thermodynamic ...

Do you use these mental models for efficient decision-making in your daily life? If not, you’re missing out on the opportunity to make more thoughtful and informed choices. Mental models are cognitive ...

The mathematician Daniel Litt has driven social media users to distraction with a series of simple-seeming but counterintuitive probability puzzles. In late January, Daniel Litt posed an innocent ...

Enrollment for Black and Latino students dropped at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the first class formed after the Supreme Court found race-conscious admissions in colleges ...

Asian American students made up almost half of the 2028 class — the first admitted since the end of affirmative action. By Anemona Hartocollis and Stephanie Saul The Massachusetts Institute of ...

When is it appropriate to completely reinvent the wheel? To an outsider, that seems to happen a lot in category theory, and probability theory isn’t spared from this treatment. We’ve had a useful ...

The host invites you to pick a door, any door. Let’s say you pick door one. The host throws open one of the doors you did not select, revealing a goat. Then the host gives you the option of switching ...
