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 ...

Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...

"Probabilistic" programming can instruct a computer using just 50 lines of code to complete a task that used to take thousands of lines, researchers say. New programming languages are being developed ...
