Learning Stochastic Inverses
نویسندگان
چکیده
For this project, we worked with Andreas Stuhlmüller to develop and implement a new inference algorithm for the Church programming language. Church is a programming language that extends Scheme with random primitives. For more details, see the original Church paper [1] Andreas developed the basic algorithm and we did most of the implementation work, also working with Andreas to extend the algorithm.

Inference Networks for Sequential Monte Carlo in Graphical Models
We introduce a new approach for amortizing inference in directed graphical models by learning heuristic approximations to stochastic inverses, designed specifically for use as proposal distributions in sequential Monte Carlo methods. We describe a procedure for constructing and learning a structured neural network which represents an inverse factorization of the graphical model, resulting in a ...
متن کاملFaster Greedy MAP Inference for Determinantal Point Processes
Determinantal point processes (DPPs) are popular probabilistic models that arise in many machine learning tasks, where distributions of diverse sets are characterized by matrix determinants. In this paper, we develop fast algorithms to find the most likely configuration (MAP) of large-scale DPPs, which is NP-hard in general. Due to the submodular nature of the MAP objective, greedy algorithms h...
متن کاملLearning Stochastic Inverses for Adaptive Inference in Probabilistic Programs
We describe an algorithm for adaptive inference in probabilistic programs. During sampling, the algorithm accumulates information about the local probability distributions that compose the program’s overall distribution. We use this information to construct targeted samples: given a value for an intermediate expression, we stochastically invert each of the steps giving rise to this value, sampl...
متن کاملDo children and adults learn forward and inverse conditional probabilities together?
Learning p(A|B) often provides information about p(B|A). Do learners attend to this information? In Experiment 1, preschool-aged children learned to predict the sound of an alien from its color. The predictability of color from sound did not have a large effect on learning rate. During testing children seemed to use the learned probabilities, p(sound|color) to make judgments of the inverses, p(...
متن کاملAn integrated vendor–buyer model with stochastic demand, lot-size dependent lead-time and learning in production
In this article, an imperfect vendor–buyer inventory system with stochastic demand, process quality control and learning in production is investigated. It is assumed that there are learning in production and investment for process quality improvement at the vendor’s end, and lot-size dependent lead-time at the buyer’s end. The lead-time for the first batch and those for the rest of the batches ...
