Learning Probabilistic Programs Using Backpropagation

no code implementations15 May 2017 Avi Pfeffer

Probabilistic modeling enables combining domain knowledge with learning from data, thereby supporting learning from fewer training instances than purely data-driven methods.

Lazy Factored Inference for Functional Probabilistic Programming

no code implementations11 Sep 2015 Avi Pfeffer, Brian Ruttenberg, Amy Sliva, Michael Howard, Glenn Takata

In this paper, we present a new inference framework, lazy factored inference (LFI), that enables factored algorithms to be used for models with infinitely many variables.

Decision-Making with Complex Data Structures using Probabilistic Programming

no code implementations11 Jul 2014 Brian E. Ruttenberg, Avi Pfeffer

Existing decision-theoretic reasoning frameworks such as decision networks use simple data structures and processes.
