Probabilistic Programming Workshop

Probabilistic programming is a relatively new field on the intersection of machine learning, computer science and artificial intelligence. Probabilistic programming allows you to write any generative probabilistic model in a straightforward way, simply by describing the generative forward process. Anglican is one of the start-of-the-art probabilistic programming languages. This hackathon on Probabilistic Programming based on Anglican, consisting of 3 parts. Part 1 will be an introduction session to probabilistic programing, part 2 will be for programming skills to write probabilistic programs in Anglican, and part 3 will give you the opportunity to bring along and/or discuss data and model, and discuss probabilistic programming implementations and predictions with the help of the facilitator and other participants.
