Top 10 variational-inference Open-Source Projects

pyro

9 8,342 8.4 Python

Deep universal probabilistic programming with Python and PyTorch

Project mention: Show HN: Designing Bridges with PyTorch | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11

Mostly I use pytorch for statistical modeling https://pyro.ai . Under the hood that package uses a lot of Monte Carlo integration and variational methods (i.e. integration by optimization). It does support neural nets, but probably >80% of pyro users stick to simpler hierarchical Bayesian models.
