However, Mikaitis and his colleagues have devised a method to simulate stochastic rounding in these computers by combining the round-to-nearest method with three other types of rounding.

From a mathematical point of view, it’s using probabilistic logic and bringing in a lot of statistics and stochastic reasoning and so on.

About ten years after Manabe, Hasselmann created a stochastic weather model, meaning a model that accounts for chance.

A few years later, Vempala and Yin-Tat Lee of the University of Washington refined Eldan’s stochastic localization to lower the KLS factor even further, to the fourth root of the dimension.

Periodically over the next few years, some idea for how to modify stochastic localization would pop into his head and he would ponder it for a few hours before giving up.
