Researchers introduce a Laplace approximation that embeds tempering in the Hessian for Bayesian deep learning. Experiments show higher accuracy, better calibration. https://getnews.me/generalized-laplace-approximation-improves-bayesian-deep-learning/ #bayesiandeeplearning #laplaceapproximation

YABS version 0.4.0 — "Let's Go Nuts!" is out: github.com/vthorrf/YABS
The new features include:
* NUTS for parameter estimation;
* Plethora of information criterion for model assessment (WAIC, WBIC, MDL, ICOMP, IFIM, etc); and
* PSIS for LaplaceApproximation.
Go check it out :)
