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! math3ma.com/blog/matrices-pr…

A recent paper in NEJM shows that children born in August are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than children born in September, probably because they start school younger. I reanalyzed the data using Bayesian logistic regression: allendowney.com/blog/2018/12…

Just for fun... Here's how an outfield of all Buxton would compare to an outfield of all Pujols based on 2017 sprint speed. Each colored band is a second of hang time. outer band is 6 seconds, inner band 3.

As of TensorFlow 1.7, with eager execution, you can use a Chainer-like API in tf.keras to create models with dynamic control flow. This should be especially useful for NLP researchers working with recursive models!
