Hi again,
We’re happy to announce that there’ll be yet another online talk on Turing.jl as part of Karolinska Institutet’s Learn Bayes Methods Week this Thursday, May 15, 13:00-14:00 Stockholm time!
@penelopeysm will talk about the design of Turing.jl and compare it to other probabilistic programming frameworks like Stan and PyMC.
In her talk, Penelope plans to cover the following points:
-
Modeling the classic ‘eight schools’ problem using Turing.jl, Stan, and PyMC
-
What Turing.jl brings to the table in Bayesian modeling, with a particular focus on composability with the broader Julia ecosystem
-
A discussion of some factors which might lead a user to gravitate towards one probabilistic programming framework
-
Reflections as a software developer on the challenges that Turing.jl (and open source software in general) face
