This repository contains materials for the tutorial on WebPPL -- a probabilistic programming language embedded in Javascript (see webppl.org for more information).

A web book on Probabilistic Models of Cognition written by Noah D. Goodman and Joshua B. Tenenbaum is available here probmods.org

Another great online resource is agentmodels.org which illustrates how WebPPL can be used to model decision-making, planning, inference, etc.

Please contact Tobias Gerstenberg ([email protected]) in case you have any questions.
