This tutorial will introduce a new paradigm for agent-based models (ABMs) that leverages automatic differentiation (AD) to efficiently compute simulator gradients. In particular, this tutorial will ...

The Bayesian method is the natural approach to inference, yet it is hidden from readers behind chapters of slow, mathematical analysis. The typical text on Bayesian inference involves two to three ...

Practical Probabilistic Programming introduces the working programmer to probabilistic programming. In it, you'll learn how to use the PP paradigm to model application domains and then express those ...

Probabilistic Programming is a way of defining probabilistic models by overloading the operations in standard programming language to have probabilistic meanings. The goal is to specify probabilistic ...

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 ...
