Machine learning is all about inference! Given some data we would like to extract useful information, e.g., to predict that the given animal on an image is a dog or cat. Traditional machine learning techniques have been shown to work effectively in practice, but they also have their pitfalls: it's hard to directly incorporate domain knowledge, and they are often too confident about their results. Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) augment traditional programming languages like Python… Read more
