Finding obvious-in-hindsight answers to never-knew-you-always-had questions. (And also eng. lead for #TensorFlowProbability.)

@hyperparticle So useful!

All people who confuse correlation with causation end up dead.

TF Probability now supports Keras! Check out their talk, you'll need details on this one -- but wow!

[TensorFlow @TensorFlow]

Combine deep neural nets with a probabilistic model. Construct a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) using TFP Layers and Keras.

Here’s how ↓ https://t.co/dSvw9DoYBx

@F_Vaggi @random_forests DistributionLambda landed Nov 2018. We had variational layers since 2017, but they've been rethought within the last month.

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

@F_Vaggi @eigenhector @jeremyphoward ... We should think about porting TFP to JAX. 😊

@kbjorklu Thanks!

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

@fishnets88 We think so too! 😊

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

@outlawpoet Glad to hear!

@seanjtaylor Tensorflow Probability offers a second-order solver for L2 regularized GLMs. In O(days) we'll release a proximal newton type method for L1 regularized GLMs (ie, similar to GLMNet).

There's nothing on my horizon, except for EVERYTHING. Everything is on my horizon.

Did ski goggles always cost a kajabillion dollars? Anti-fog technology is powered on MONEY.

Anyone interested in Gondola+2hr snowshoe tour? #NIPS2010

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

Hoot.

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

Best. Shoes. Ever. http://tiny.cc/wkohj And worth every penny!

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

Sike!

[Joshua V. Dillon @dfacto82]

still neat.
