probabilistic

I mean, a bloom filter isn't super difficult, but it's also probabilistic instead of deterministic.

There was a lot of work in fault tolerant and probabilistic computer architectures as a result of this.

The LDA stands for Latent Dirichlet Allocation which is the basis for a probabilistic model of words in documents.

When you say adding more online algorithms, is that mostly going to be limited to adding more probabilistic data structures?

Most introductions to statistics focus heavily on the mathematics needed to enable certain analytical approximations to difficult probabilistic calculations (e.g.

If you need something that's not quite as probabilistic and are willing to handle deadlocks use CSP (Go or Rust).

Our native implementations of all probabilistic data structures use MurmurHash3, so this isn't a problem.

The only explanation I could come up with is the universe is essentially probabilistic and I had just witnessed some kind of winning-the-Mega-Lotto-odds improbable sort of event.

All of us make selfish individual decisions, but the (probabilistic) fitness function is largely determined by large-scale, emergent properties of the system.

If you want some sort of probabilistic lie detector, there isn't any reliable one out there, and the unreliable ones are proprietary.

The way I think of it is type 1 is like an associative or probabilistic cache.

That's the thing about probabilistic data structures - I've never seen a real-world performance problem in SQL where they would have been helpful.

They are probably referring to one of those "probabilistic" algorithms, something that will get a right answer with only some (possibly high) probability.

Probabilistic data structures do seem like a natural match for streaming databases, but that's different.
