Gen: A General-Purpose Probabilistic Programming System with Programmable Inference

Probabilistic modeling and inference are central to many fields. A key challenge for wider adoption of probabilistic programming languages is designing systems that are both flexible and performant. This paper introduces Gen, a new probabilistic programming system with novel language con- structs fo...
