Pyro effect-handler probabilistic programming

Contribution grade

Probabilistic programming · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score155,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Embeds dynamic probabilistic models in Python/PyTorch with sample/parameter primitives and composable Poutine effect handlers, supporting scalable approximate inference.

Scientific scope

Embeds dynamic probabilistic models in Python/PyTorch with sample/parameter primitives and composable Poutine effect handlers, supporting scalable approximate inference. Universal language expressivity does not make arbitrary posterior inference tractable or exact. Practical stochastic variational inference and user-specified guides are approximate. NUTS, SVI, automatic differentiation and effect-handler concepts are inherited; v1's journal header is an unfinished template, not proof of a 2018 journal publication.
