Today’s clip is from episode 144 [https://learnbayesstats.com/episode/144-why-is-bayesian-deep-learning-so-powerful-maurizio-filippone] of the podcast, with Maurizio Filippone.

In this conversation, Alex and Maurizio delve into the intricacies of Gaussian processes and their deep learning counterparts. They explain the foundational concepts of Gaussian processes, the transition to deep Gaussian processes, and the advantages they offer in modeling complex data.

The discussion also touches on practical applications, model selection, and the evolving landscape of machine learning, particularly in relation to transfer learning and the integration of deep learning techniques with Gaussian processes.

BITESIZE | Why is Bayesian Deep Learning so Powerful?

Are you a researcher or data scientist / analyst / ninja? Do you want to learn
Bayesian inference, stay up to date or simply want to understand what Bayesian
inference is? Then this podcast is for you! You'll hear from researchers and
practitioners of all fields about how they use Bayesian statistics, and how in
turn YOU can apply these methods in your modeling workflow. When I started
learning Bayesian methods, I really wished there were a podcast out there that
could introduce me to the methods, the projects and the people who make all that
possible. So I created "Learning Bayesian Statistics", where you'll get to hear
how Bayesian statistics are used to detect black matter in outer space, forecast
elections or understand how diseases spread and can ultimately be stopped. But
this show is not only about successes -- it's also about failures, because
that's how we learn best. So you'll often hear the guests talking about what
*didn't* work in their projects, why, and how they overcame these challenges.
Because, in the end, we're all lifelong learners! My name is Alex Andorra by the
way, and I live in Paris. By day, I'm a data scientist and modeler at the
https://www.pymc-labs.io/ (PyMC Labs) consultancy. By night, I don't (yet) fight
crime, but I'm an open-source enthusiast and core contributor to the python
packages https://docs.pymc.io/ (PyMC) and https://arviz-devs.github.io/arviz/
(ArviZ). I also love https://www.pollsposition.com/ (election forecasting) and,
most importantly, Nutella. But I don't like talking about it – I prefer eating
it. So, whether you want to learn Bayesian statistics or hear about the latest
libraries, books and applications, this podcast is for you -- just subscribe!
