  abstract =     "Probabilistic programming is a programming language
                 paradigm receiving both government support [ 1 ] and
                 the attention of the popular technology press [ 2 ].
                 Probabilistic programming concerns writing programs
                 with segments that can be interpreted as parameter and
                 conditional distributions, yielding statistical
                 findings through nonstandard execution. Mathematica not
                 only has great support for statistics, but has another
                 language feature particular to probabilistic language
                 elements, namely memoization, which is the ability for
                 functions to retain their value for particular function
                 calls across parameters, creating random trials that
                 retain their value. Recent research has found that
                 reasoning about processes instead of given parameters
                 has allowed Bayesian inference to undertake more
                 flexible models that require computational support.
                 This article explains this nonparametric Bayesian
                 inference, shows how Mathematica's capacity for
                 memoization supports probabilistic programming
                 features, and demonstrates this capability through two
                 examples, learning systems of relations and learning
                 arithmetic functions based on output.",
