Summary
Andy Gordon discusses machine learning using functional programming, explaining how Infer.NET Fun turns the succinct syntax of F# into an executable modeling language for Bayesian machine learning.
Bio
Andy Gordon is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge, and is a Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Andy wrote his PhD on input/output in lazy functional programming, and is the proud inventor of Haskell's ">>=" notation for monads. He's worked on a range of topics in concurrency, verification, and security, never straying too far from his roots in functional programming.
