Inference, particularly with large data sets, and disparate solution criteria, is one of the tougher challenges of current computing models. Probabilistic computing may unlock an alternative approach to tackling complex problems by enabling systems to infer solutions that lie outside the current linear computational models: Probabilistic programming languages are in the spotlight. This is due to…
