Alex is a first-year PhD student at MIT's Probabilistic Computing Project. He's interested in building tools that automate the tedious calculations associated with approximate Bayesian inference, and making probabilistic inference algorithms accessible to software engineers solving practical, everyday problems.

Cleaning messy data with Julia and Gen
Alex Lew
Julia is home to a growing ecosystem of probabilistic programming languages—but how can we put them to use for practical, everyday tasks? In this talk, we'll discuss our ongoing effort to automate common-sense data cleaning by building a declarative modeling language for messy datasets on top of Gen.
