Probabilistic Programming with Programmable Variational Inference

no code implementations22 Jun 2024 McCoy R. Becker, Alexander K. Lew, Xiaoyan Wang, Matin Ghavami, Mathieu Huot, Martin C. Rinard, Vikash K. Mansinghka

Compared to the wide array of advanced Monte Carlo methods supported by modern probabilistic programming languages (PPLs), PPL support for variational inference (VI) is less developed: users are typically limited to a predefined selection of variational objectives and gradient estimators, which are implemented monolithically (and without formal correctness arguments) in PPL backends.
