In my previous paper posted here, I explained how I built a new class of non-standard deep neural networks, with various case studies based on synthetic data and open-source code, covering problems such as noise filtering, high-dimensional curve fitting, and predictive analytics. One of the models featured a promising universal function able to represent any type of smooth response, while leading to fast convergence. Here I explore weight sensitivity and distillation. The words weight and parameter are used […]

Colleen Hroncich When Katie Kilgore took a job at a microschool that prioritizes self-directed learning, she had no idea where it would lead her. Her career had taken her through real estate, owning a women’s clothing store, paralegal work, and, eventually, seven years in private school administration. But the microschool opened her eyes to what education could look like. When she saw her child struggling with anxiety and stress in fourth and fifth grade, she had an epiphany. […]

In this tutorial, we explore hierarchical Bayesian regression with NumPyro and walk through the entire workflow in a structured manner. We start by generating synthetic data, then we define a probabilistic model that captures both global patterns and group-level variations. Through each snippet, we set up inference using NUTS, analyze posterior distributions, and perform posterior predictive checks to understand how well our model captures the underlying structure. By approaching the tutorial step by step, we build an intuitive […]

Remember when you thought age verification laws couldn’t get any worse? Well, lawmakers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and beyond are about to blow you away. It’s unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.  Yes, really. As of this […]
