pyBPL is a package of tools to implement Bayesian Program Learning (BPL) in Python 3 using PyTorch backend. The original BPL implementation was written in MATLAB (see Lake et al. (2015): "Human-level concept learning through probabilistic program induction"). I'm a Ph.D. student with Brenden Lake and I've developed this library for our ongoing modeling work. At the moment, only the forward generative model is complete; inference algorithms are still in the works (contributions welcome!).
The key components of this repository are:
A fully-differentiable implementation of BPL character learning tools including symbolic rendering, spline fitting/evaluation, and model scoring (log-likelihoods).
A generalized framework for representing concepts and conceptual background knowledge as probabilistic programs. Character concepts are one manifestation of the framework, included here as the preliminary use case.
I am thankful to Maxwell Nye, Mark Goldstein and Tuan-Anh Le for their help developing this library.
