In Minehead begonnen afgelopen vrijdag 158 spelers aan één van de dartsklassiekers: de UK Open. De 'FA Cup van het darten' is een toernooi waarin er altijd verrassingen in een klein hoekje zitten doordat er zo ontzettend veel spelers zijn die zich plaatsen voor het toernooi. Luke Littler nam in ieder geval het stokje over van Dimitri Van den Bergh, nadat hij zondag in de finale op dominante wijze wist te winnen van James Wade. We blikten erop terug met Viaplay dartscommentator Jacques Nieuwlaat. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Was für ein Triumphzug für Luke Littler: Der 18-jährige schnappt sich nach der Premier League, den World Series Finals, dem Grand Slam und der WM seinen bereits fünften Major-Titel. Die UK Open sind in der Finalsession eine einseitige Nummer zugunsten von Littler, der erst Jonny Clayton 11:6 und James Wade im Endspiel sogar mit 11:2 bezwingt.

They discuss the use of computer models and data analysis in understanding glacier behavior and predicting sea level rise, and a lot of other fascinating topics.Andy grew up in the Swiss Alps, and studied Earth Sciences, with a focus on atmospheric and climate science and glaciology. After his PhD, Andy moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, and became involved with the Parallel Ice Sheet Model, the first open-source and openly-developed ice sheet model.His first PhD student was no other than… Doug Brinkerhoff! Doug did an MS in computer science at the University of Montana, focusing on numerical methods for ice sheet modeling, and then moved to Fairbanks to complete his PhD.

One of the bottlenecks is learning the appropriate kernel. What if you could learn the structure of GP kernels automatically? Sounds really cool, but also a bit futuristic, doesn't it?Well, think again, because in this episode, Feras Saad will teach us how to do just that! Feras is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his PhD in Computer Science from MIT, and, most importantly for our conversation, he's the creator of AutoGP.jl, a Julia package for automatic Gaussian process modeling.Feras discusses the implementation of AutoGP, how it scales, what you can do with it, and how you can integrate its outputs in your models.Finally, Feras provides an overview of Sequential Monte Carlo and its usefulness in AutoGP, highlighting the ability of SMC to incorporate new data in a streaming fashion and explore multiple modes efficiently.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Riemannian spaces are such a perspective change, as Arto Klami, an Associate Professor of computer science at the University of Helsinki and member of the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence, will tell us in this episode.He explains the concept of Riemannian spaces, their application in inference algorithms, how they can help sampling Bayesian models, and their similarity with normalizing flows, that we discussed in episode 98.Arto also introduces PreliZ, a tool for prior elicitation, and highlights its benefits in simplifying the process of setting priors, thus improving the accuracy of our models.When Arto is not solving mathematical equations, you'll find him cycling, or around a good board game.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

As I'm diving deeper and deeper into these topics to teach them and, well, finally understand them, I was delighted to host Ed Merkle on the show.A professor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, Ed discusses his work on Bayesian applications to psychometric models and model estimation, particularly in the context of Bayesian SEM. He explains the importance of BSEM in psychometrics and the challenges encountered in its estimation.Ed also introduces his blavaan package in R, which enhances researchers' capabilities in BSEM and has been instrumental in the dissemination of these methods. Additionally, he explores the role of Bayesian methods in forecasting and crowdsourcing wisdom.When he's not thinking about stats and psychology, Ed can be found running, playing the piano, or playing 8-bit video games.Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).
