TY  - JOUR
AB - How smart can a micron-sized bag of chemicals be? How can an artificial orreal cell make inferences about its environment? From which kinds ofprobability distributions can chemical reaction networks sample? We begintackling these questions by showing four ways in which a stochastic chemicalreaction network can implement a Boltzmann machine, a stochastic neural networkmodel that can generate a wide range of probability distributions and computeconditional probabilities. The resulting models, and the associated theorems,provide a road map for constructing chemical reaction networks that exploittheir native stochasticity as a computational resource. Finally, to show thepotential of our models, we simulate a chemical Boltzmann machine to classifyand generate MNIST digits in-silico.
