For our final project in the course "Deep Learning for Biomedical Data," our group trained a #GAN to generate high-res hand radiographs and then identified an embedding of patient age in the GAN's latent input space. #AI #ML #DeepLearning joshuacook.netlify.app/project/hand-r…

@Xfinity Why did I receive an email from you saying “We received your cancelation request, and we're on it” but I never made a cancellation request. (If you had a phone number I could call I would do that, but this is the next best option I guess.)

Just wrote a simple "Getting Started" post for experimenting with #LLMs using @ollama and @langchain. I hope it helps folks start playing with these incredible tools! joshuacook.netlify.app/post/ollama-qu…

@mkennedy I enjoy both your podcasts, but have no interest mastodon nor any issues with Elon Musk, so I just skip those parts. Same with other podcasts, I figure the it’ll blow over soon enough. Thanks for the interesting shows and keep it up!

Always "fun" to read reviews of the podcast. I especially like this thoughtful one. It juxtaposes the tensions of big tech and open source. Thank you MnReview. ;) (I'm guessing in response to our show on Mastodon)

⚠️ A reminder that using 'sklearn' rather than 'scikit-learn' in pip commands, will start failing in three days (December 1st) over some predefined time windows. More information about the 'sklearn' package deprecation is available at lnkd.in/ec4BwAeg. #Python #ml

@kennethfield The announcers said the first player didn’t touch the ball with his feet after his chest, so the second German player was onside with the last touch.

Offside. Where was VAR? #FIFAWorldCup

@inferencelab @pymc_devs I looked into the submission process, but i just can’t take on another responsibility at the moment – I just graduated and will moving and starting a new job soon, on top of the normal holiday stuff, just too much at the moment. Thanks for the encouragement though!

Just released my new Python package 📦 `tumoroscope-pymc`, a @pymc_devs implementation of ‘Tumoroscope’ first published by Shafighi et al. (2022). preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… PyPI: pypi.org/project/tumoro… #python #bayesian #compbio

@arthurturrell ‘here’

What's your favourite non-obvious package in R? As in, not ggplot or dplyr or any of the really popular ones (can still be tidyverse though). #rstats #datascience #R (Mine is probably fixest)

@Emmanuelmiiro25 @rstatstweet Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath is where I got started. I highly recommend it and there is a course you can follow along too xcelab.net/rm/statistical…

Trying to understand Bayesian analysis in R. 😪 Any resources to get me started? #Rstats #DataScience #bayesian #AcademicTwitter

@forde_nathaniel Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!

Nice blog post here: "Experimenting with multi-level and hierarchical splines in PyMC | R-bloggers" r-bloggers.com/2022/02/experi…

@twiecki @pymc_devs Thank you for this insight! I’ll definitely consider it

@JoshDoesa @pymc_devs Great post! Here you're probably running into a warm-up issue with NUTS we fixed in v4, so you might want to consider upgrading if you care about speed. There's also the JAX backend.

New post experimenting with the performance of #PyMC with and without the Theano NumPy BLAS warning. Didn't find a difference. Is this expected? #Python #DataScience @pymc_devs joshuacook.netlify.app/post/theano-bl…

I just published a new tutorial on setting up @appwrite_io as a backend on a @digitalocean Droplet. It's pretty incredible how easy and cheap it is to get such a powerful system up and running! joshuacook.netlify.app/post/appwrite-…

@RedSox I found Jim Felix’s Employee of the Season plaque on the side of the road yesterday. It is a bit dinged up around the edges, but the front is in good shape (I cleaned it off). Let me know how best I can get it to you to pass along. I live in Fenway so can pop on by.

I made my first #Python package over the weekend. It is a simple interface for Boston's non-emergency reporting service API, but I learned a lot about modern techniques for creating, testing, and publishing libraries in Python. github.com/jhrcook/boston…

For my own education, I made a #PyMC3 version of @betanalpha's post on the parameterization of hierarchical models. I'm curious if others have better ideas for coding a mixture of centered and non-centered params in the same model. #DataScience #Python joshuacook.netlify.app/post/mixed-par…
