The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they're not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 18, No. 1 (Feb., 1993), pp. 71-97 (27 pages) This paper is concerned with the design and probabilistic analysis of algorithms for the maximum-flow problem and ...

Probabilistic programming has emerged as a powerful paradigm that integrates uncertainty directly into computational models. By embedding probabilistic constructs into conventional programming ...
