NP-NUTS: A Nonparametric No-U-Turn SamplerLAFI 20252025-01-19
A new algorithm, NP‑NUTS, automatically adapts HMC trajectory length for models whose parameter dimension varies by combining NUTS’s doubling/tree construction…

Guaranteed Bounds on Posterior Distributions of Discrete Probabilistic Programs with LoopsPOPL 20252025-01-19
Automated tool Diabolo implements two provable methods: residual mass semantics (fast unrolling upper/lower bounds) and geometric bound semantics (contraction…

On the Reparameterisation Gradient for Non-Differentiable but Continuous ModelsLAFI 20232023-01-15
Claim: the reparameterisation gradient is unbiased for continuous but possibly non-differentiable probabilistic programs. Proof uses a categorical denotational…
Talk on
Pitfalls of Full Bayesian Inference in Universal Probabilistic ProgrammingLAFI 20232023-01-15
Argues that full Bayes on universal PPLs treats programs as a Bayesian Model Average over their straight-line programs (SLPs), which can make posterior SLP…
Talk on
A Language and Smoothed Semantics for Convergent Stochastic Gradient DescentLAFI 20222022-01-16
Provides a smoothed denotational semantics (in Frölicher spaces) plus a mild type system forbidding parameter-dependent guards that ensures any typable…
Talk on
Nonparametric Involutive Markov Chain Monte CarloLAFI 20222022-01-16
Framework generalizes involutive MCMC to universal PPLs and implements a concrete fix for trans‑dimensional moves: it appends samples until proposal has…
Talk on
Rigorous Approximation of Posterior Inference for Probabilistic ProgramsLAFI 20222022-01-16
Claims rigorous, nonstochastic posterior bounds for a universal probabilistic language that allows recursion, continuous distributions and conditioning. Method…
