A library for probabilistic modeling, inference, and criticism. Edward is a Python library for probabilistic modeling, inference, and criticism. It is a testbed for fast experimentation and research with probabilistic models, ranging from classical hierarchical models on small data sets to complex deep probabilistic models on large data sets. Edward fuses three fields, Bayesian statistics and machine learning, deep learning, and probabilistic programming. Edward is built on TensorFlow. It enables features such as computational graphs, distributed training, CPU/GPU integration, automatic differentiation, and visualization with TensorBoard. Expectation-Maximization, pseudo-marginal and ABC methods, and message passing algorithms.

Features

  • Directed graphical models
  • Neural networks (via libraries such as tf.layers and Keras)
  • Implicit generative models
  • Bayesian nonparametrics and probabilistic programs
  • Black box variational inference
