Turing.jl: The Turing language for probabilistic programming


ABSTRACT:

Turing.jl is a Julia library for (universal) probabilistic programming. 
Turing allows the user to write models in standard Julia syntax, and 
provide a wide range of sampling-based inference methods for solving 
problems across probabilistic machine learning, Bayesian statistics and 
data science etc. Since Turing is implemented in pure Julia code, its 
compiler and inference methods are amendable for hacking: new model 
families and inference methods can be easily added.
