Chapter 7 Progress #381

Open tigershen23 opened 6 years ago

Hi! A couple of friends and I have been working through and thoroughly enjoying this book. We were really looking forward to Chapter 7 and were sad to see that it's incomplete 🤕 are there any updates on its progress? Bayesian Machine Learning (especially wrt neural nets) is likely going to be my next area of study. I'll humbly offer my strikingly limited knowledge if there's anything I can do to help with this chapter.

For folks who are looking for stuff similar to what I'm imagining Chapter 7 to be in my head, here are a couple of resources I'm planning to go through:

I think that'd be great (although note that I'm not the author and don't have any say). Presumably some of my blog posts could be adapted and extended: http://twiecki.github.io/blog/2016/06/01/bayesian-deep-learning/

Thanks for sharing @twiecki! That post looks great, I added it to my list of items to go through. I think that type of content would be perfect.

Future chapters are on hold indefinitely. I'll rely on the community, like great works from @twiecki, to explore that space =)

Thanks for the response @CamDavidsonPilon, do you have any other resources you'd be able to share off the top of your head in and around Bayesian ML?
