Practical Probabilistic Programming (Manning)
Wednesday, 27 April 2016

Avi Pfeffer introduces the working programmer to probabilistic programming.You’ll immediately work on practical examples like building a spam filter, diagnosing computer system data problems, and recovering digital images. You’ll discover probabilistic inference, where algorithms help make extended predictions about issues like social media usage.

<ASIN:1617292338>

 Along the way, you’ll learn to use functional-style programming for text analysis, object-oriented models to predict social phenomena like the spread of tweets, and open universe models to gauge real-life social media usage. The book also has chapters on how probabilistic models can help in decision making and modeling of dynamic systems.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications and access to a web forum where you can make comments about the book, ask technical questions and receive help from the author and the community.
