Delphi
hessammehr/Delphi

Delphi combines the idea of content-addressable code with probabilistic models. Inspired by the Unison programming language’s idea of a code store for depositing functions, Delphi provides a runtime and repository for probabilistic models that can then be invoked against observations, combined, and compared.

See our recent publication for an of probabilistic methods applied to chemistry.
