Generative probabilistic programming: applications and new ideas

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Zoubin Ghahramani .

Probabilistic programming has recently attracted much attention in Computer Science and Machine Learning communities. I will briefly demonstrate two generative probabilistic graphics programs (models), which I contributed to develop. Then I will present ideas on two research directions I am interested in pursuing: a path to scaling up general-purpose approximate inference in probabilistic programs using parallelism, and a path to automatic programming via general-purpose approximate inference.

This is based on joint work with Frank Wood, Vikash Mansinghka, Tejas Kulkarni, Daniel Selsam, Joshua Tenenbaum, et al.

This talk is part of the Machine Learning @ CUED series.
