==== Description: ====
The Graph Model Library is a generic C++ library for computing on
probabilistic graph models, which are powerful tools for describing
and analyzing data.  As a result, they have found (often implicit)
application in a vast array of fields, including machine learning,
natural language processing, image recognition, population genetics,
genomics, and biology.  However, software useable for computing on
probabilistic graph models often suffers from serious limitations.
The most crucial of these is that the software is often very
specialized and not designed for general use; consequently, it is
inaccessible to most practicing scientists.  The exceptions to this
suffer from other limitations, however; for example, the set of
available data types is often highly constrained, the range of
possible graph structures is limited, and the execution environment
restricts the scope of problems that can be represented.

The Graph Model Library seeks to overcome all of these limitations so
that probabilistic graph models may be used easily for any appropriate
problem.  Some features that underly this power are the following:

- Implementation of a domain-specific language encoded within C++ to
  support arbitrary probabilistic graph models,

- Widespread use of templates to enable generic programming supporting
  both user-defined and library-defined data types, and

- Leveraging the full capacity of C++ to support high performance
  computing at any scale.

The goal of this project is to expand the applicability of
probabilistic graph models and make computing with them widespread
within the scientific community.
