This is the community edition of GenJAX, a probabilistic programming language in development at MIT's Probabilistic Computing Project. We recommend this version for stability, community contributions, ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the utilization of machine learning methods to predict the values of valuable metals, specifically gold, silver, palladium, and platinum, from 2017 to 2023. Accurate ...

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 ...

We consider the computable content of several key theorems in probability theory, and discuss their implications for the design of probabilistic programming languages. A random variable is said to be ...

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 ...

MIT says the percentage of Black, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander students in its incoming freshman class has plummeted, tying it to 2023’s Supreme Court ruling banning affirmative action.
