make programming more intuitive for people
who don’t necessarily have the background. Some of the
biggest issues the team has encountered
are with interfaces that control zooming and
scrolling. It’s easy to see that some of her inspiration comes from Japanese animator Hayao
Miyazaki.
“Computer
graphics is that in-between space,” she says. “You need to have some kind of aesthetic sensibility, since the whole point is
still to tell a story, but you’re using computer science and math to do that.”

Paragraph: http://news.mit.edu/2015/better-probabilistic-programming-0413
To
make machine-learning applications easier to build, computer scientists have
begun developing so-called probabilistic
programming languages, which let researchers mix and match machine-learning
techniques that have worked well in other contexts. In 2013, the U.S. Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, an incubator of
cutting-edge technology, launched a four-year program to fund probabilistic-programming research.
By the standards of conventional computer programs,
those “models” can seem absurdly vague. One
of the tasks that the researchers investigate, for instance, is constructing a
3-D model of a human face from 2-D images. Kulkarni and his colleagues
considered four different problems in computer vision, each
of which involves inferring the
three-dimensional shape of an object from 2-D information.
