[DISCUSSION] Probabilistic Programming Languages for LFI #3

Open EiffL opened 4 years ago

Probabilistic Programming Languages for Large Scale LFI

Frameworks like Pyro and TensorFlow Probability are powerful tools, but do they scale to the problems faced by modern particle physics and cosmology?

Contacts: @EiffL Participants: @EiffL

Discussion Items

What are the options that have been deployed on large scale? I guess PPX and pyprob
What are the requirements on a framework for LFI on supercomputers?

Do any of the sampling algorithms in TensorFlow probability "work"? They always seem really finicky for any of the even very simple models I've tried...
