| | The business world is full of streams of items that need to be filtered or evaluated: parts on an assembly line, resumés in an application pile, emails in a delivery queue, transactions awaiting processing. Machine learning techniques are increasingly being used to make such processes more efficient: image processing to flag bad parts, text analysis to surface good candidates, spam filtering to sort email, fraud detection to lower transaction costs etc.In this article, I show how you can take business fa...

| | Executive Summary A major academic medical center faced challenges with high patient no-show rates for scheduled surgical procedures, leading to suboptimal utilization of limited operating room capacity and lost revenue opportunities.

| In this short post, we will take a look at variational lower bound, also referred to as the evidence lower bound or ELBO for short. While I have referenced ELBO in a previous blog post on VAEs, the proofs and formulations presented in the post seems somewhat overly convoluted in retrospect. One might consider this a gentler, more refined recap on the topic. For the remainder of this post, I will use the terms "variational lower bound" and "ELBO" interchangeably to refer to the same concept. I was heavily inspired by Hugo Larochelle's excellent lecture on deep belief networks.
