Goodman et al: Church: A Language for Generative Models
This week Daphne and I will be leading discussion of some of Noah Goodman's recent work (for the benefit of those who missed his visit here and also to allow those who listened to him to read his papers and discuss the ideas more).
We recommend you look at his paper "Church: a language for generative models":
http://www.mit.edu/~ndg/papers/churchUAI08_rev2.pdf
We'll probably also discuss some of the applications of Church talked about in his "Lambda, the ultimate gamble" slides or other papers found on his website:
