Keynote: Probabilistic Programming: The What, Why and How

Maria Gorinova

Maria is a Data Science PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, where she works on improving the expressivity and efficiency of probabilistic programming languages. In particular, she is interested in applying program-analysis techniques to existing probabilistic languages, such as Stan. Previously, Maria worked as a Research Assistant in the Graphics and Interaction Group at the University of Cambridge, where she also received her BA, developing an interactive development environment for probabilistic programming for her final year project.
