A Primer on Pólya-gamma Random Variables - Part II: Bayesian Logistic Regression
We use one weird trick — Pólya-Gamma augmentation — to make exact inference in Bayesian logistic regression tractable.
An Illustrated Guide to the Knowledge Gradient Acquisition Function
We give a short illustrated reference guide to the Knowledge Gradient acquisition function with an implementation from scratch in TensorFlow Probability.
