Viewing Matrices & Probability as Graphs
A nice fact I like: Every matrix corresponds to a graph, and so familiar things (e.g. matrix multiplication) have nice pictures! Another nice fact: joint probability distributions *also* correspond to graphs. They have telling pictures, too. New blog post

Viewing Matrices & Probability as Graphs
Today I'd like to share an idea. It's a very simple idea. It's not fancy and it's certainly not new. In fact, I'm sure many of you have thought about it already. But if you haven't—and even if you have!—I hope you'll take a few minutes to enjoy it with me.…

A Latent Variational Framework for Stochastic Optimization
This paper provides a unifying theoretical framework for stochastic
optimization algorithms by means of a latent stochastic variational problem.

A First Look at Quantum Probability, Part 1
In this article and the next, I'd like to share some ideas from the world of quantum probability. The word "quantum" is pretty loaded, but don't let that scare you. We'll take a first—not second or third—look at the subject, and the only prerequisites will…
