All for one and none forall: Compiling polymorphic relations without monomorphization

Dmitri Volkov, Yafei Yang, Chung-Chieh Shan

We present a new approach for implementing polymorphism for bottom-up relational languages that avoids monomorphization. We begin by introducing semiringKanren, a bottom-up weighte…

Committing to the bit: Relational programming with semiring arrays and SAT solving

Dmitri Volkov, Yafei Yang, Chung-chieh Shan

We propose semiringKanren, a relational programming language where each relation expression denotes a semiring array. We formalize a type system that restricts the arrays to finite…

Exact Recursive Probabilistic Programming

David Chiang, Colin McDonald, Chung-chieh Shan

Recursive calls over recursive data are useful for generating probability distributions, and probabilistic programming allows computations over these distributions to be expressed…

Translating Recursive Probabilistic Programs to Factor Graph Grammars

David Chiang, Chung-chieh Shan

It is natural for probabilistic programs to use conditionals to express alternative substructures in models, and loops (recursion) to express repeated substructures in models. Thus…

Sham: A DSL for Fast DSLs

Rajan Walia, Chung-chieh Shan, Sam Tobin-Hochstadt

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are touted as both easy to embed in programs and easy to optimize. Yet these goals are often in tension. Embedded or internal DSLs fit naturally wi…

From high-level inference algorithms to efficient code

Rajan Walia, Praveen Narayanan, Jacques Carette +2

Probabilistic programming languages are valuable because they allow domain experts to express probabilistic models and inference algorithms without worrying about irrelevant detail…
