🌍 EM-DAT, the world's most trusted disaster database, hosted by UCLouvain's CRED, risks shutting down after losing USAID funding. I've written a short post explaining why it matters and how you can help by signing the open letter 👇 statsandr.com/blog/em-dat-... #OpenData #DisasterRisk #OpenScience

Neural networks that know what they don't know? 🤔 New post with Joshua Marie: fit Bayesian Neural Networks in R with {kindling} + {tidymodels} and get uncertainty estimates out of a familiar workflow. 👉 statsandr.com/blog/bayesian-neural-networks-in-tidymodels-with-kindling/ #rstats #tidymodels

🚀 New collaborative post on Stats and R! Together with Joshua Marie, we show how to do more with neural networks in R using {kindling} (built on {torch}), with a clean workflow for training & tuning models. 👉 statsandr.com/blog/you-can... #rstats #deeplearning #tidymodels #torchr
