An Introduction to Probabilistic Programming
by Jan-Willem van de Meent, et al.
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 218
Description:
This document is designed to be a first-year graduate-level introduction to probabilistic programming. It not only provides a thorough background for anyone wishing to use a probabilistic programming system, but also introduces the techniques needed to design and build these systems. It is aimed at people who have an undergraduate-level understanding of either or, ideally, both probabilistic machine learning and programming languages.
