Approximate confidence distribution computing (ACDC) offers a new take on the rapidly developing field of likelihood-free inference from within frequentist framework. The appeal this computational method for statistical hinges upon concept distribution, special type estimator which is defined with respect to repeated sampling principle. An ACDC provides validation in problems unknown or intract...

Although approximate computing promises better performance for applications allowing marginal errors, dearth of hardware support and lack run-time accuracy guarantees makes it difficult to adopt. We present As-Is, an Anytime Speculative Interruptible System that takes program executes with time-proportional approximations. That is, version the output is generated early gradually refined over ti...

By their very nature Spin Waves (SWs) enable the realization of energy efficient circuits, as they propagate and interfere within waveguides without consuming noticeable energy. However, SW computing can be even more by taking advantage approximate paradigm many applications, e.g., multimedia social media, are error-tolerant. In this paper, we propose an ultra-low Approximate Full Adder (AFA) 2...

Computing has been at the core of Digital Revolution (also known as Third Industrial Revolution) since latter half 20th century. Progress on approximate computing promising for data storage and processing associated with recent advancements in artificial intelligence big data. It is our great pleasure to introduce guest editors this special issue <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/M...

   Nowadays, the portable multimedia electronic devices, which employ signal-processing modules, require power aware structures more than ever. For the applications associating with human senses, approximate arithmetic circuits can be considered to improve performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, scaling has led to some limitations in performance of nanoscale circuits. According...
