Flott av Inga Strümke i Morgenbladet, setter ord på mye som jeg selv har tenket på det siste året, og som jeg tror mange andre som jobber med ML fra matematikk / statistikk siden tenker.

I think Mistral's Le Chat should have a Proust mode by default

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)

I'm looking for a Doctoral Researcher (PhD student) to work with me on simulation-based inference at Data Science Research Centre, Tampere University Check the link for details and send an application before October 10th. tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/?o=A_...

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.

JOBS ALERT! PhD position & 3-y postdoc position in statistics within my research group at @ocbe.bsky.social @uio.no Both are linked to a project funded from the Research Council of Norway on Integrative Bayesian clustering for high-dim data in omics Deadline: 13 June 2025 More info & links below!

Join us in beautiful Oslo! Associate Professor @ocbe.bsky.social @uio.no Deadline May 18th www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

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.

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

Second call for the DSTrain Postdoctoral programme @uio.no is up! The university is hiring 18 postdocs across 9 research areas and over 60 loosely defined projects. Come work on Bayesian machine learning with us in beautiful Oslo Deadline April 6th, please share!

Great department, great group, great city!

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.

Always fun little tidbits on the wikis of famous mathematicians. Here on Riesz Frigyes' (*of the* Riesz representation theorem) lecturing style

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

I love these clear, crisp, cold winter mornings. As long as there is no snow.

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

Very excited for this!

For those who don’t know yet, I am organising an online talk series together with Arno Solin on “Advances in Probabilistic Machine Learning (APML)”. It’s free for everyone to join and support early career researchers! You can register and check out the schedule here: aaltoml.github.io/apml/

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

initial attempt at ML for health starter pack, still missing a lot so contributions welcome go.bsky.app/N5UUARF

I made a starting package of the #mathonco community. Let’s all get together again. Let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/UpYF6Ak

I made a starter-pack for Statistics and Statistics-related groups, departments or organisations. Please share, and suggest accounts that I have missed. go.bsky.app/q6MfWL
