Epistemology

Branch of philosophy concerning knowledge

Epistemology ( ; from Ancient Greek __ ἐπιστήμη ( _epistḗmē ) 'knowledge', and -logy_ ) is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge. Epistemologists study the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge, epistemic justification, the rationality of belief, and various related issues.

Functional Tensors for Probabilistic Programming
2019
It is a significant challenge to design probabilistic programming systems that can accommodate a wide variety of inference strategies within a unified framework. Noting that the versatility of modern automatic differentiation frameworks is based in large part on the unifying concept of tensors, we describe a software abstraction for integration --functional tensors-- that captures many of the benefits of tensors, while also being able to describe continuous probability distributions. Moreover, functional tensors a…
