Looks to be a really nice read; clear that the man enjoys writing!

'Fisher Information in Kinetic Theory'

I just wrapped up a meeting with a company, and during introductions, two engineers mentioned they've been learning #DataScience through my #YouTube channel! It’s always stoked to hear this!

A new version of skrub is out!

skrub 0.4.1 fixes some issues with the TableReport and the tabular_learner, fills some gaps in the documentation, and ensures compatibility with the latest scikit-learn version (1.6).

Changelog: skrub-data.org/stable/CHANG...

Optimal transport computes an interpolation between two distributions using an optimal coupling. Flow matching, on the other hand, uses a simpler “independent” coupling, which is the product of the marginals.

The Hilbert projective (constant on rays) metric is a way to measure distances within a convex cone in a vector space. It is an important tool in hyperbolic geometry and for Perron-Frobenius theory. https://zenodo.org/records/2067884

Anne Gagneux, Ségolène Martin, @quentinbertrand.bsky.social Remi Emonet and I wrote a tutorial blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/conditional-... with lots of illustrations and intuition!

We got this idea after their cool work on improving Plug and Play with FM: arxiv.org/abs/2410.02423

Blast from the past, wrote these equations in this form 6 years ago, I remember it felt quite clarifying at the time ... A bygone era unfortunately
