Pyro is a universal probabilistic programming language (PPL) written in Python and supported by PyTorch (https://pr.ai/showthread.php?t=17572) on the backend. Pyro enables flexible and expressive deep probabilistic modeling, unifying the best of modern deep learning and Bayesian modeling. It was designed with these key principles:

Universal: Pyro can represent any computable probability distribution.
Scalable: Pyro scales to large data sets with little overhead.
Minimal: Pyro is implemented with a small core of powerful, composable abstractions.
Flexible: Pyro aims for automation when you want it, control when you need it.
