InferPy: Probabilistic modeling with Tensorflow made easy

作者：

Highlights：

• InferPy is a high-level Python API for probabilistic modeling.

• It built on top of Edward and Tensorflow.

• Edward’s drawback is that the user has to manage complex multidimensional tensors.

• InferPy focuses on hierarchical probabilistic models.
