[HTML][HTML] A synthetic approach to Markov kernels, conditional independence and theorems on sufficient statistics

T Fritz - Advances in Mathematics, 2020 - Elsevier
We develop Markov categories as a framework for synthetic probability and statistics,
following work of Golubtsov as well as Cho and Jacobs. This means that we treat the …

Disintegration and Bayesian inversion via string diagrams

K Cho, B Jacobs - Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2019 - cambridge.org
The notions of disintegration and Bayesian inversion are fundamental in conditional
probability theory. They produce channels, as conditional probabilities, from a joint state, or …

Commutative semantics for probabilistic programming

S Staton - Programming Languages and Systems: 26th European …, 2017 - Springer
We show that a measure-based denotational semantics for probabilistic programming is
commutative. The idea underlying probabilistic programming languages (Anglican, Church …

Causal inference by string diagram surgery

B Jacobs, A Kissinger, F Zanasi - … , FOSSACS 2019, Held as Part of the …, 2019 - Springer
Extracting causal relationships from observed correlations is a growing area in probabilistic
reasoning, originating with the seminal work of Pearl and others from the early 1990s. This …

[HTML][HTML] From probability monads to commutative effectuses

B Jacobs - Journal of logical and algebraic methods in …, 2018 - Elsevier
Effectuses have recently been introduced as categorical models for quantum computation,
with probabilistic and Boolean (classical) computation as special cases. These …

Causal models in string diagrams

R Lorenz, S Tull - arxiv preprint arxiv:2304.07638, 2023 - arxiv.org
The framework of causal models provides a principled approach to causal reasoning,
applied today across many scientific domains. Here we present this framework in the …

[หนังสือ][B] The logical essentials of Bayesian reasoning

BPF Jacobs, F Zanasi - 2021 - books.google.com
This chapter offers an accessible introduction to the channel-based approach to Bayesian
probability theory. This framework rests on algebraic and logical foundations, inspired by the …

Higher order bayesian networks, exactly

C Faggian, D Pautasso, G Vanoni - Proceedings of the ACM on …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Bayesian networks are graphical first-order probabilistic models that allow for a compact
representation of large probability distributions, and for efficient inference, both exact and …

Data assimilation in operator algebras

D Freeman, D Giannakis, B Mintz, A Ourmazd… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - pnas.org
We develop an algebraic framework for sequential data assimilation of partially observed
dynamical systems. In this framework, Bayesian data assimilation is embedded in a …

Causal inference via string diagram surgery: A diagrammatic approach to interventions and counterfactuals

B Jacobs, A Kissinger, F Zanasi - Mathematical Structures in …, 2021 - cambridge.org
Extracting causal relationships from observed correlations is a growing area in probabilistic
reasoning, originating with the seminal work of Pearl and others from the early 1990s. This …
