Title
Design of Stochastic Machines Dedicated to Approximate Bayesian inferences
Abstract
We present an architecture and a compilation toolchain for stochastic machines dedicated to Bayesian inferences. These machines are not Von Neumann and code information with stochastic bitstreams instead of using floating point representations. They only rely on stochastic arithmetic and on Gibbs sampling to perform approximate inferences. They use banks of binary random generators which capture t...
