Foundations of Probabilistic Programming: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Foundations of Probabilistic Programming" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

What does a probabilistic program actually compute? How can one formally reason about such probabilistic programs? This valuable guide covers such elementary questions and more. It provides a state-of-the-art overview of the theoretical underpinnings of modern probabilistic programming and their applications in machine learning, security, and other domains, at a level suitable for graduate students and non-experts in the field. In addition, the book treats the connection between probabilistic programs and mathematical logic, security (what is the probability that software leaks confidential information?), and presents three programming languages for different applications: Excel tables, program testing, and approximate computing. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Preface

The Python language has been around for a long time and worn many hats. Its original implementation was started by Guido van Rossum in 1989 as a tool for system administration as an alternative to Bash scripts and C programs.

I was first introduced to Python working in the film industry, where we used it to automate data management across departments and locations. In the last decade, Python has become a dominant tool in Data Science.

This dominance evolved due to two developments: the Jupyter notebook, and powerful third-party libraries. In 2001 Fernando Perez began the IPython project, an interactive Python environment inspired by Maple and Mathematica notebooks. By 2014, the notebook-specific part of the project was split off as the Jupyter project. These notebooks have excelled for scientific and statistical work environments. In parallel with this development, third-party libraries for scientific and statistical computing were developed for Python. With so many applications, the functionality available to a Python programmer has grown immensely. With specialized packages for everything from opening web sockets to processing natural language text, there is more available than a beginning developer needs.

This project was the brainchild of Noah Gift. In his work as an educator, he found that students of Data Science did not have a resource to learn just the parts of Python they needed. There were many general Python books and books about Data Science, but not resources for learning just the Python needed to get started in Data Science. That is what we have attempted to provide here. This book will not teach the Python needed to set up a web page or perform system administration. It is also not intended to teach you Data Science, but rather the Python needed to learn Data Science.

I hope you will find this guide a good companion in your quest to grow your Data Science knowledge.
