Probabilistic programming: Code Developed To Make Computers 'Think' Faster

Probabilistic programming has been developed by code designers which is capable of instructing the computer to complete a task using just 50 lines code, which used to take up to thousand lines of code in the past, reports Tech Times. The code developers are working hard towards developing new programming languages which can speed up the process of computer processing and help to scan a data sets and patters faster and in an easier manner.

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is currently funding this study of probabilistic programming since about 4 years, reports Phys Org. The recent advancement in artificial intelligence which made us see the use of voice commands and conversion of speech to text has been a result of this study only, the report says.

The computer scientists at MIT are now keen to introduce this technology in to the vision area, and a seminar will also be held in the University's campus this year. The scientists want to write discriminative and generative models for the computer machine language and make it as short as possible, so that it can be processed as quickly as possible.

For the extension of probabilistic programming to the vision area, they are putting forward the theory that only 3 parts of the face would be made available to the computer; the eyes and the nose and the mouth. And as soon as the computer is able to match these 2 D inputs with their 3 D counterparts, it will show a perfect match.

The only drawback of probabilistic programming is that all the existing algorithms will need a revision in accordance to this short and precise coding method. The computer will soon be able to decide its own strategies and also modify its course of action accordingly.
