My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me Getting Daniel Lee on the show is a real treat — with 20 years of experience in numeric computation; 10 years creating and working with Stan; 5 years working on pharma-related models, you can ask him virtually anything. And that I did… From joint models for estimating oncology treatment efficacy to PK/PD models; from data fusion for U.S. Navy applications to baseball and football analytics, as well as common misconceptions or challenges in the Baye ..read more

My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me Welcome to another installment of our LBS physics deep dive! After exploring the world of experimental physics at CERN in our first video documentary in episode 93, we’ll stay in Geneva for this one, but this time we’ll dive into theoretical physics. We’ll explore mysterious components of the universe, like dark matter and dark energy. We’ll also see how the study of gravity intersects with the study of particle physics, especially when considering ..read more

My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me In this episode, Jonathan Templin, Professor of Psychological and Quantitative Foundations at the University of Iowa, shares insights into his journey in the world of psychometrics. Jonathan’s research focuses on diagnostic classification models — psychometric models that seek to provide multiple reliable scores from educational and psychological assessments. He also studies Bayesian statistics, as applied in psychometrics, broadly. So, naturally ..read more

It is the first-ever LBS video episode, and it takes place in the heart of particle physics research -- the CERN ? I went onsite in Geneva, to visit Kevin Greif, a doctoral candidate in particle physics at UC Irvine, and we walked around the CERN campus, talking about particle physics, dark matter, dark energy, machine learning -- and a lot more! I still released the audio form of this episode, but I really thought a ..read more

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch! My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me I love Bayesian modeling. Not only because it allows me to model interesting phenomena and learn about the world I live in. But because it’s part of a broader epistemological framework that confronts me with deep questions — how do you make decisions under uncertainty? How do you communicate risk and uncertainty? What does being rational even mean? Thankfully, Gerd Gigerenzer is there to help us navigate these fascinating topics. Gerd is the Direct ..read more

Proudly sponsored by PyMC Labs, the Bayesian Consultancy. Book a call, or get in touch! My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me As you may know, I’m kind of a nerd. And I also love football — I've been a PSG fan since I’m 5 years old, so I’ve lived it all with this club.. And yet, I’ve never done a European-centered football analytics episode because, well, the US are much more advanced when it comes to sports analytics. But today, I’m happy to say this day has come: a sports analytics episode where we can actually talk about European football. And that is thanks to Maximil ..read more

My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me What’s the difference between MCMC and Variational Inference (VI)? Why is MCMC called an approximate method? When should we use VI instead of MCMC? These are some of the captivating (and practical) questions we’ll tackle in this episode. I had the chance to interview Charles Margossian, a research fellow in computational mathematics at the Flatiron Institute, and a core developer of the Stan software. Charles was born and raised in Paris, and then ..read more

My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me If you’ve ever tried to lose fat or gain muscle, you may have noticed… it’s not easy. But it’s precisely its complexity that makes the science of exercise and nutrition fascinating. This is the longest LBS episode so far, and you’ll understand why pretty quickly: we covered a very wide range of topics, starting with the concept of metabolic adaptation and how our physiology and brain react to caloric deficits or caloric surpluses. We also talked ab ..read more

Listen on Podurama My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses 1:1 Mentorship with me Today, 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 ..read more
