Title
Report on the probabilistic language scheme
Abstract
Reasoning with probabilistic models is a widespread and successful technique in areas ranging from computer vi- sion, to natural language processing, to bioinformatics. Currently, these reasoning systems are either coded from scratch in general-purpose languages or use formalisms such as Bayesian networks that have limited expressive power. In both cases, the resulting systems are difcult to mod- ify, maintain, compose, and interoperate with. This work presents Probabilistic Scheme, an embedding of probabilis- tic computation into Scheme. This gives programmers an expressive language for implementing modular probabilistic models that integrate naturally with the rest of Scheme.
