Gen: A General-Purpose Probabilistic Programming System with Programmable Inference
Cusumano-Towner, Marco F.; Saad, Feras A.; Lew, Alexander; Mansinghka, Vikash K. (2018-11-26)Probabilistic modeling and inference are central to many fields. A key challenge for wider adoption of probabilistic programming languages is designing systems that are both flexible and performant. This paper introduces ...
