Probability theory | Mathematical terminology
In probability theory, an event is said to happen almost surely (sometimes abbreviated as a.s.) if it happens with probability 1 (or Lebesgue measure 1). In other words, the set of possible exceptions may be non-empty, but it has probability 0. The concept is analogous to the concept of "almost everywhere" in measure theory. In probability experiments on a finite sample space, there is often no difference between almost surely and surely (since having a probability of 1 often entails including all the sample points). However, this distinction becomes important when the sample space is an infinite set, because an infinite set can have non-empty subsets of probability 0. Some examples of the use of this concept include the strong and uniform versions of the law of large numbers, and the continuity of the paths of Brownian motion. The terms almost certainly (a.c.) and almost always (a.a.) are also used. Almost never describes the opposite of almost surely: an event that happens with probability zero happens almost never.

Bayesian Inference by Program Verification - Joost-Pieter Katoen, RWTH Aachen University
In this talk, I will give a perspective on inference in Bayes' networks (BNs) using program verification. I will argue how weakest precondition reasoning a la Dijkstra can be used for exact inference (and more). As exact inference is NP-complete, inference is typically done by means of sim

In 2d first-passage percolation (FPP), we place nonnegative i.i.d. weights (t_e) on the edges of Z^2 and study the induced weighted graph pseudometric T = T(x,y). If we denote by p = P(t_e = 0), then there is a transition in the large-scale behavior of the model as p varies from 0 to 1. Wh
