A Type Theory for Probability Density Functions
Abstract There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language that simultaneously provides (1) continuous probability distributions, (2) the ability to naturally express … Continue reading
Presenting at the CScADS Workshop on Autotuning for Petascale Applications
Thanks to Rich Vuduc for inviting me to give a talk at CScADS. Autotuning is an approach for generating efficient code for high performance computing. I’ll try to summarize how my PL work can contribute to and benefit from this … Continue reading

Toward Interactive Statistical Modeling
Abstract When solving machine learning problems, there is currently little automated support for easily experimenting with alternative statistical models or solution strategies. This is because this activity often requires expertise from several different ï¬elds (e.g., statistics, optimization, linear algebra), and … Continue reading
Automating Mathematical Program Transformations
Abstract Mathematical programs (MPs) are a class of constrained optimization problems that include linear, mixed-integer, and disjunctive programs. Strategies for solving MPs rely heavily on various transformations between these subclasses, but most are not automated because MP theory does not … Continue reading

Dissertation: Logical Modeling Frameworks for the Optimization of Discrete-Continuous Systems
Abstract Often, it is very difficult to pose a model for a system even after the system is conceptually understood. The reason is the mathematical languages we employ have few forms of expression. We define more expressive languages, first for … Continue reading
