Learning Bayesian Statistics

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch!Listen on PoduramaMy Intuitive Bayes Online Courses1:1 Mentorship with meToday, we’re gonna learn about probabilistic numerics — what they are, what they are good for, and how they relate computation and inference in artificial intelligent systems.To do this, I have the honor of hosting Philipp Hennig, a distinguished expert in this field, and the Chair for the Methods of Machine Learning at the University of Tübingen, Germany. Philipp studied in Heidelberg, also in Germany, and at Imperial College, London. Philipp received his PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, under the supervision of David MacKay, before moving to Tübingen in 2011. Since his PhD, he has been interested in the connection between computation and inference. With international colleagues, he helped establish the idea of probabilistic numerics, which describes computation as Bayesian inference. His book, Probabilistic Numerics — Computation as Machine Learning, co-authored with Mike Osborne and Hans Kersting, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2022 and is also openly available online. So get comfy to explore the principles that underpin these algorithms, how they differ from traditional numerical methods, and how to incorporate uncertainty into the decision-making process of these algorithms.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

They successfully achieve this goal by bringing in the Bayesian approach to inferences. Philipp explains probabilistic numerics as “redescrbiing everything a computer does as Bayesian inference” and how this approach is suitable for advancing Machine Learning.We expand on how to handle uncertainty in machine learning and Philipp details his teams approach for handling this issue.We also collect many resources for those interested in probabilistic numerics and finally talk about the future of this field.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
