Monads for probabilistic programming #18

Open darrenjw opened 5 years ago

darrenjw commented 5 years ago

I could probably do a session on this, but so could Jonny Law

jonnylaw commented 5 years ago

I'd be happy to do an intro to Rainier and prob programming.

darrenjw commented 5 years ago

Well volunteered! ;-)

jmtd commented 5 years ago

I think this would be very interesting. In the stuff I'm doing with Paul W, there's an obvious conflict between a desire to retain pure semantics for some stuff, and the need for stochastic methods for others. I haven't seen your Haskell impl of your last paper @jonnylaw but I have heard about it :)

jonnylaw commented 5 years ago

Good to hear there's interest! @jmtd I've invited you to the repo for the Haskell state space models. It's very much a work in progress at this stage...

jmtd commented 5 years ago

@jonnylaw thanks for the invite, I plan to take a look soon :+1:
