Recently its combi nation with deep learning has been explored intensely\, which led to the d evelopment of so called deep probabilistic programming languages\, such as Pyro\, Edward and ProbTorch. At the core of this development lie inferenc e engines based on stochastic variational inference algorithms. When asked to find information about the posterior distribution of a model written i n such a language… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20190726T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20190726T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210611T171537Z LOCATION:Hugh Dempster Building\, 6245 Agronomy Road SUMMARY:Towards Verified Stochastic Variational Inference for Probabilistic Programs - Hongseok Yang\, Professor\, KAIST TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/event/towards-verified-stochastic-variational-infe rence-probabilistic-programs-hongseok-yang END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
