I would pick variational auto-encoders (VAEs) as the closest analogy to how the brain functions. Brain observes data and encodes it to a latent vector. When we imagine something or dreaming, brain decodes latent vector to video. Moreover, u

Google RAPPOR technique adds noise to the report at client (user) side. The noisy reports are then collected to a central server for analysis. Doing this guarantees differential privacy, a strong privacy protection. However, the major dis

You don't need to trust all third-parties. Crypto magic guarantees that what you need is at least ONE server being honest. If you trust Mozilla, then you have nothing to worry about, except the proof or program may be wrong ;) Third-

By definition of conditional probability: P(A|B) = P(A,B) / P(B) and P(B|A) = P(A,B) / P(A). Therefore, P(B|A) = P(A|B) * P(B) / P(A).

> It is very hard to validate a given choice of a prior in many applications. E.g., if I claim one prior, and another investigator claims a sharper one, it can be very difficult to decide who is right. Both prior and likelihood are our m

See the discovery paper of gravitational waves [1] which uses informative priors from physical evidences/constraints. [1]: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.11...

I strongly disagree. Bayesian inference is the only known self-consistent formal system for doing science, i.e. updating our belief system about the world based on the current evidence.

There are several libraries. PyMC4 [1], the next version of PyMC3, will introduce TF as a backend. Tensorflow probability [2] from Google. PYRO [3], from Uber, uses Pytorch backend. [1]: https://github.com/pymc-devs/py

I truly believe that Bayesian inference is the statistics of the 21st century. Recent advances in MCMC (e.g., NUTS, Stan [1]) and variational inference (e.g., ADVI [2], VAE [3], etc.) + more computing power than ever promise a near future i

If you read the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09558 , in section 2.1, it defines two conditional posteriors for the parameters of the generator and discriminator. Then, classical GAN is just a maximum likelihood esti

I think consciousness is a concept created by our brain. It likes the concept of 'angry'. We all know what it feels like. But there is no 'angry'thing, our brain created it too.
