  1. Bayesian priors and Ridge regression

    Showing the equivalence of Bayesian priors and Ridge regression

  2. Choose your optimization algorithm carefully

    How does the choice of optimization result impact how long time it takes to find the correct solution

  3. Confidence intervals - Not what you think

    Confidence intervals actually says nothing at all about the probability of the value being in the interval

  4. Deep Evidential Modeling

    Deep Evidential Modeling for safe, robust and accurate machine learning applications

  5. Identifiability and granularity for time series models

    Is it better to aggregate sparse data or does the granularity add value

  6. Impact of bimodality in regression problems

    A few thoughts on apparent bimodality for regression problems!

  7. Borch: A Deep Universal Probabilistic Programming Language

    Borch: a scalable deep universal probabilistic programming language, built on top of PyTorch.

  8. The apparent success of the maximum likelihood principle

    The maximum likelihood principle is modeling without assumptions, and there is no such thing. The assumption of no assumption is a flawed assumption.

  9. The importance of context

    The importance of context when building models

  10. The insignificance of significance

    Statistical significance has always held a slightly magical status in the research community, this is misguided ans should be stopped

  11. The truth about priors and overfiting

    Learn about the effect of week and strong priors and how it effects overfitting

  12. What does the prior actually do in a Bayesian analysis?

    How the prior and posterior effects the likelihood in Bayesian inference, and why setting the correct priors are important.

  13. On the fallacy of A/B testing

    A/B testing is a commonly used method for determining the effectiveness of different variations of a product or marketing campaign. However, despite its widespread use, A/B testing has several limitations that make it a flawed methodology, particularly when compared to bespoke machine learning models.
