Numerical summaries and diagnostics for Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Integration with established probabilistic programming languages including; PyStan (the Python interface of Stan ), PyMC , [ 15 ] Edward [ 16 ] Pyro, [ 17 ] and easily integrated with novel or bespoke Bayesian analyses.
Probabilistic programming (PP) is a programming paradigm based on the declarative specification of probabilistic models, for which inference is performed automatically. [1] Probabilistic programming attempts to unify probabilistic modeling and traditional general purpose programming in order to make the former easier and more widely applicable.
Differentiable programming has been applied in areas such as combining deep learning with physics engines in robotics, [12] solving electronic structure problems with differentiable density functional theory, [13] differentiable ray tracing, [14] image processing, [15] and probabilistic programming.

Under the distribution semantics, a probabilistic logic program defines a probability distribution over interpretations of its predicates on its Herbrand universe. The probability of a ground query is then obtained from the joint distribution of the query and the worlds: it is the sum of the probability of the worlds where the query is true. [2 ...
Although the Python interface is more polished and the primary focus of development, PyTorch also has a C++ interface. [14] A number of pieces of deep learning software are built on top of PyTorch, including Tesla Autopilot, [15] Uber's Pyro, [16] Hugging Face's Transformers, [17] PyTorch Lightning, [18] [19] and Catalyst. [20] [21]
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs), sometimes called probabilistic model-building genetic algorithms (PMBGAs), [1] are stochastic optimization methods that guide the search for the optimum by building and sampling explicit probabilistic models of promising candidate solutions. Optimization is viewed as a series of incremental updates ...
Stan is a probabilistic programming language for statistical inference written in C++. [2] The Stan language is used to specify a (Bayesian) statistical model with an imperative program calculating the log probability density function. [2] Stan is licensed under the New BSD License.
The modularity in BPS allows inference to work on and test smaller probabilistic programs before being integrated into a larger model. [2] This framework can be contrasted with the family of automated program synthesis fields, which include programming by example and programming by demonstration. The goal in such fields is to find the best ...
