What is Probabilistic Computing?
May 11th, 2010
Just finished a new clip with PICOL icons for Navia Systems, a company which was founded in 2007 by four MIT doctoral students. The company’s goal is to help people make more rational, data-driven decisions by designing and building machines that make good judgements in the presence of uncertainty.
The clip exaplains the concept of probabilistic computing, also known as Bayesian inference. Enjoy watching it.
For more information you can visit the website of Navia Systems.
Here you can watch the clip with some additional information on my portfolio.

Hi. To be honest I don´t use flash, but maybe you used the png-files, that could be the problem. It´s better to use the SVG-files, since they can be scaled without a loss. The problem is that flash doesn´t support SVG, but EPS. If you convert the SVG files you need to EPS with Adobe Illustrator (or Inkscape — I don´t know if this works) you can use them in Flash. If there are to much icons to convert you can send me the list of icons you need and I´ll send them to you as EPS.
