The Empirical Derivation of the Bayesian Formula Open Data Science Conference

Editor's note: James is a speaker for ODSC London this November! Be sure to check out his talk, "The How, Why, and When of Replacing Engineering Work with Compute Power" there. Deep learning has been made practical through modern computing power, but it is not the only technique benefiting from this large increase in power. Bayesian inference is up and coming technique whose recent progress is powered by the increase in computing power. We can explain the mathematical expression of Bayes formula using an example similar to the great Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Inference to a financial context and using mathematical concepts intuitively arise from code.
