When you’re programming an artificial intelligence application, you’re usually building statistical models that output discrete values. Is that image a human face? Whose face is it? Is that face ...

Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...

Probabilistic programming is a recent and extremely dynamic field of research which lies at the intersection of statistical machine learning and programming language theory. Probabilistic programming ...

Researchers can demonstrate that on some standard computer-vision tasks, short programs -- less than 50 lines long -- written in a probabilistic programming language are competitive with conventional ...
