Announcing IBAL release

[Avi Pfeffer]

Readers of this list may be interested in the following announcement:

I am pleased to announce the initial release of IBAL, a general purpose 
language for probabilistic reasoning.  IBAL is highly expressive, and 
its inference algorithm generalizes many common frameworks as well as 
allowing many new ones.  It also provides parameter estimation and 
decision making.  All this is packaged in a programming language that 
provides libraries, automatic type checking, etc.

IBAL may be downloaded from http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~avi/IBAL.
