Aleator.Torch

Optional TorchSharp bridge for Aleator, the .NET 10 / C# port of the Figaro probabilistic programming library.

  • TorchDifferentiableTarget(dimension, tensorProgram) wraps any TorchSharp tensor program as an IDifferentiableTarget, so Aleator's gradient engines (HMC / NUTS / ADVI / SVGD from Aleator.AutoDiff) consume libtorch log-densities — including neural-network likelihoods and VAE-style amortised encoders.
  • TorchProbe.Describe() — native-backend smoke check.
using Aleator.AutoDiff;
using Aleator.Torch;
using Aleator.Util;
using static TorchSharp.torch;

var target = new TorchDifferentiableTarget(3, theta => -0.5 * (theta * theta).sum());
var nuts = new NoUTurnSampler(target, random: new DefaultRandomSource(42));

Each bridge call owns and disposes the input tensor and all callback temporaries. Tensors captured by the callback (for example model parameters or fixed data) remain caller-owned. Gradient evaluation uses input-only autograd.grad, so it does not accumulate .grad on captured trainable tensors.

Carries the heavy TorchSharp + libtorch-cpu native dependency (hundreds of MB) — reference it only when you need the bridge. Excluded from NativeAOT publishes by design.
