Kullback-Leibler divergence is not just used to train variational autoencoders or Bayesian networks (and not just a hard-to-pronounce thing). It is a fundamental concept in information theory, put to use in a vast range of applications. Most interestingly, it’s not always about constraint, regularization or compression. Quite on the contrary, sometimes it is about novelty, discovery and surprise.

In this episode of Open Source Directions, we were joined by Thomas Wiecki once again who talked about the work being done with PyMC. PyMC3 is a Python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and Probabilistic Machine Learning focusing on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI) algorithms. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems.
This article discusses GPT-2 and BERT models, as well using knowledge distillation to create highly accurate models with fewer parameters than their teachers
In this episode, we have an engaging and very entertaining discussion with Jono Bacon, the founder of Jono Bacon Consulting. Jono was Director of Community at notable companies such as Github, Canonical, and XPRIZE. He is one of the top (if not the top) experts in the world when it comes to building strong communities.
In this episode, I was fortunate enough to speak with Peter Wang, the CEO of Anaconda. Anaconda is a distribution for the Python and R programming languages for scientific computing. It’s recognized as the heart of the open source data science community.
