“Probabilistic Programming is the next emerging technology in machine learning, after Deep Learning and Big Data Analytics. By combining general purpose programming with probabilistic modelling, probabilistic programming makes it possible to perform complex statistical reasoning with minimum programming efforts and high computational efficiency.The main idea is:1. Use a computer program augmented with statistical operators,2. formulate a suitable probabilistic model for a given data set and3. perform automated statistical inference by executing the program.This has been made possible by recent breakthroughs in…””
