Dependent Bayesian Lenses: Categories of Bidirectional Markov Kernels with Canonical Bayesian Inversion — Dylan Braithwaite & Jules Hedges (2022). arXiv:2209.14728 (v1, PDF).

Constructs categories of bidirectional Markov kernels in which Bayesian inversion is canonical: by passing to supports of states, inverses become unique rather than unique almost surely, and inversion becomes a genuine functor into a category of dependent (fibred) Bayesian lenses.
