At the heart of each of these new languages is a so-called inference algorithm, which instructs a machine-learning system how to draw  conclusions from the data it’s presented. The generality of the inference algorithm is what confers the languages’ power: The same  algorithm has to be able to guide a system that’s learning how to recognize objects in digital images, or filter spam, or recommend DVDs  based on past rentals, or whatever else an artificial-intelligence program may be called upon to do.
