Think Bayes 2 is the companion repository for the second edition of Allen B. Downey’s introduction to Bayesian statistics. It teaches Bayesian reasoning through computational methods instead of relying mainly on symbolic mathematics. Each chapter is presented as a Jupyter notebook where readers can study the text, run examples, and complete exercises. Separate solution materials help learners check their work and explore alternative approaches.

...The library provides an easy interface to define an optimization problem (parameter space, loss function, budget) and then experiment with multiple strategies—evolutionary algorithms, Bayesian optimization, bandit methods, genetic algorithms, etc. Nevergrad supports parallelization, budget scheduling, and multiple cost/resource constraints, allowing it to scale to nontrivial optimization problems. It includes visualization tools and diagnostic metrics to compare strategy performance, track parameter evolution, and detect stagnation.

BayesianOptimization is a Python library that helps find the maximum (or minimum) of expensive or unknown objective functions using Bayesian optimization. This technique is especially useful for hyperparameter tuning in machine learning, where evaluating the objective function is costly. The library provides an easy-to-use API for defining bounds and optimizing over parameter spaces using probabilistic models like Gaussian Processes.

Pyro is a flexible, universal probabilistic programming language (PPL) built on PyTorch. It allows for expressive deep probabilistic modeling, combining the best of modern deep learning and Bayesian modeling. Pyro is centered on four main principles: Universal, Scalable, Minimal and Flexible. Pyro is universal in that it can represent any computable probability distribution. It scales easily to large datasets with minimal overhead, and has a small yet powerful core of composable abstractions that make it both agile and maintainable. ...

Neural Tangents is a high-level neural network API for specifying complex, hierarchical models at both finite and infinite width, built in Python on top of JAX and XLA. It lets researchers define architectures from familiar building blocks—convolutions, pooling, residual connections, and nonlinearities—and obtain not only the finite network but also the corresponding Gaussian Process (GP) kernel of its infinite-width limit. With a single specification, you can compute NNGP and NTK kernels,...
