Bayesian inference with probabilistic programming. #TuringLang #JuliaLang

We're writing a grant proposal that would allow us to fund a few bodies to work on Turing + relevant research for the next few years. If you have any "success-stories" / cases where Turing has been useful for you that we can share in the proposal, please let us know by Friday!

We are excited to announce that Turing.jl is participating in Google Summer of Code 2024 under @JuliaLanguage organization. Check out the projects at julialang.org/jsoc/gsoc/turi… and in 🧵. Contributors will be able to interact with the Alan Turing Institute @turinginst. #GSoC

And projects are not fixed, so feel free to reach out to @torfjelde or Xianda Sun (contact info at julialang.org/jsoc/gsoc/turi…) if you have any other aspects of Turing.jl that you would like to work on. The application deadline is April 2nd (1 week), so don't wait! #GSoC

Gave a lecture at CEDAS-NORBIS summer school in Bergen, Norway, the rainest city in Europe. My usual toy example for Bayesian decision theory felt a bit awkward. Slides and Turing.jl code here: github.com/mattiasvillani/CE…

Also related -- Turing.jl has tensorboard support, which is very easy to use. turinglang.org/TuringCallbac…

Reminder: just over a week left to apply for Google Summer of Code with ArviZ! We have exciting projects for improving the Bayesian modeling workflow in both #Python and @JuliaLanguage.
ArviZ is participating in Google Summer of Code 2023 under the @NumFOCUS umbrella. We have projects in both #Python and #JuliaLang. If interested in working on one of these projects, get in touch! github.com/arviz-devs/arviz/… @JuliaLanguage @TuringLang @GoogleOSS #gsoc #bayesian

Also be sure to check out @arviz_devs's #JuliaLang GSOC projects! There's one that explicitly crosses over between ArviZ and Turing, but Turing users would benefit from all of them. xitter.cf/arviz_devs/status/1628…
