Stochastic Architectures for Probabilistic Computation. Jonas, E. M
abstract   bibtex   
The brain interprets ambiguous sensory information faster and more reliably than modern computers, using neurons that are slower and less reliable than logic gates. But Bayesian inference, which is at the heart of many models for sensory information processing and cognition, as well as many machine intelligence systems, appears computationally challenging, even given modern transistor speeds and energy budgets. The computational principles and structures needed to narrow this gap are unknown. Here I show how to build fast Bayesian computing machines using intentionally stochastic, digital parts, narrowing this efficiency gap by multiple orders of magnitude.
