Functional Tensors for Probabilistic Programming
Fritz Obermeyer, Eli Bingham, Martin Jankowiak +2
It is a significant challenge to design probabilistic programming systems that can accommodate a wide variety of inference strategies within a unified framework. Noting that the ve…
Tensor Variable Elimination for Plated Factor Graphs
Fritz Obermeyer, Eli Bingham, Martin Jankowiak +4
A wide class of machine learning algorithms can be reduced to variable elimination on factor graphs. While factor graphs provide a unifying notation for these algorithms, they do n…
Pathwise Derivatives Beyond the Reparameterization Trick
Martin Jankowiak, Fritz Obermeyer
We observe that gradients computed via the reparameterization trick are in direct correspondence with solutions of the transport equation in the formalism of optimal transport. We…
