How do human beings perceive their environment and make their decisions? To successfully interact with the immediate environment, for human beings it is not enough to have basic evidence of the world ...

Uncertainty is an intrinsic part of neural computation, whether for sensory processing, motor control or cognitive reasoning. For instance, it is impossible to determine with certainty the age of a ...

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm for constructing and analysing statistical models by combining the expressiveness of modern programming languages with the rigour of ...

Imagine walking along in the African savanna. Suddenly you notice a moving bush partially obscuring a large yellow object. From this limited information, you need to figure out if you’re in danger and ...

(Medical Xpress)—Located at the forward end of the brain's frontal lobe, the mammalian prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the seat of many of our most unique cognitive abilities – collectively referred to as ...

In the 1950s and '60s, artificial-intelligence researchers saw themselves as trying to uncover the rules of thought. But those rules turned out to be way more complicated than anyone had imagined.

Non-probability samples provide a challenging source of information for official statistics, because the data generating mechanism is unknown. Making inference from such samples therefore requires a ...

A collaboration including the University of Oxford, University of British Columbia, Intel, New York University, CERN, and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center is working to make it ...

Bayesian optimization for experimental design, with applications in food science, chemistry or ultrasonic sensing. Physics-informed machine learning and neural operators for approximation of physical ...
