A Compilation Target for Probabilistic Programming LanguagesBrooks Paige BROOKS@ROBOTS.OX.AC.UK Frank Wood FWOOD@ROBOTS.OX.AC.UK University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science, Oxford, UKAbstract Forward inference techniques such as sequential Monte Carlo and particle Markov chain Monte Carlo for probabilistic programming can be im- plemented in any programming language by cre- ative use of standardized operating system func- tionality including processes, forking, mutexes, and shared m
