autodiff is cool and all, but have you tried manually computing the gradient to avoid too many variables on the autodiff tape..??? (screenshot of me trying to avoid autodiffing through large Gram matrices)

Playing around plotting some chemical structure embeddings coming from a VAE, and colouring by local intrinsic dimension looks almost like these colour blind test images.

Glad to see this happening! I never understood why UK dads were not marching in the street already when I saw that my UK employer only offered *two weeks* paternity leave. Coming from Norway I had to trade in a minimum 4 months leave for a measly two weeks -- time with my daughter I won't get back.
British men urged to join ‘Dad strike’ calling for more paternity leave

Working on a model involving some GP regression, coupled with a horseshoe prior for variable selection. In an attempt at counting the number of effective parameters of my model, the following quantity pops out quite naturally. Is this a well known quantity? 1/2

Tvert i mot, dette er på alle måter et skattemessig smutthull. Det er faktisk nøyaktig hva det er: Noe som teknisk sett ikke er ulovlig, men åpenbart heller ikke i tråd med intensjonen. Intensjonen er neppe at eiendomsbaroner skal få skattefritak.

Like, I get that I shouldn't, but it is surprisingly easy to do inference for a very basic BNN in Stan. Just standard NUTS. The sampler complains a lot, but intervals and mean look sensible enough

This looks interesting! (and congratulations to the new doctor in the linked thread) I’ve been trying to implement a version of the Automatic ZigZag of Corbella et al. myself and wondering about this t_max parameter. Will have to read this more closely
Finally, some automatization of PDMP methods such as the Zig-Zag sampler: arxiv.org/abs/2408.03682
Automated Techniques for Efficient Sampling of Piecewise-Deterministic Markov Processes

Having a lot of fun implementing various versions of the Zig-Zag sampler these days, keen to see how it performs on some more complex models. Screenshot from a "sticky" implementation in linear regression with a spike-and-slab prior
