Hello! Thank you for your interest.

Is the "Embedded domain-specific language HANSEI for probabilistic models and (nested) inference" described in: http://okmij.org/ftp/kakuritu/index.html#implementation available in Haskell?
The closest to that I know of is this one: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/rst76/20100706 https://github.com/rst76/probability Or you can apply this monad transformer to a probability monad: http://sebfisch.github.com/explicit-sharing/
Is there a reason why the author did the package in Ocaml rather than Haskell?
Mostly we preferred (as do the domain experts we target) to write probabilistic models in direct style rather than monadic style. Haskell's laziness doesn't help -- in fact, to avoid running out of memory, we'd have to defeat that memoization by sprinkling "() ->" throughout the types. -- Edit this signature at http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ken/sig 1st graffitiist: QUESTION AUTHORITY! 2nd graffitiist: Why?
