Google interview problem: Drop an egg without breaking it

Although I do enjoy digging my feet into newer tricks and techniques when competiting, I really like problems that test your understanding of an algorithm or data structure at a deeper level.



Expectation Maximization and the Student-t distribution

In the previous post I explained the basic idea behind using maximum likelihood estimation to fit parametric probability distributions over data.



An intuitive understanding of maximum likelihood estimation

One of the very fundamental problems that machine learning seeks to solve is trying to predict outcomes under certain degrees of uncertainty.



Paper review: Conditional Probability Models for Deep Image Compression (CVPR 2019)

Following up on the PixelRNN and PixelCNN architectures, we look at a paper that uses the distrib



Generating images with autoregressive models

Although GANs are great at producing realistic images, the distributions they learn are implicit.
