Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to show how semantics can be defined for a real-world probabilistic programming language. Figaro has had numerous applications in areas such as malware analysis, climate modeling, vehicle health maintenance, and intelligence analysis.
