I've started my personal site

A few advices on how to organize a research effort

Hi there! I would like to announce I will be writing technical posts on this website. Most of the design you see here is taken from the gorgeous consequently.org managed by Greg Restall, from whom some years ago I took the course series Logic: language and information on Coursera and absolutely fell in love with his sensitivity in choosing beautiful fonts for the lecture notes. On his website, that same sensibility is kept, which is seen through the amazing choice of calligraphy set.

Anyway, I plan to write about Machine Learning (ML) subjects I am currently studying, including: Variational Inference, Bayesian Optimization, Gaussian Processes, Deep Learning… In summary, anything related, but not limited to, ML… I will basically focus on probabilistic views and try to give a comprehensible explanation together with code (Jupyter notebook style) and dummy-man math (i.e., I’ll try to use a “for dummy” style when explaining things).

The main objective is to use the site as a repository where to deposit my knowledge and be able to revisit when needed (since I keep forgetting things, :D). On the process I hope this is also going to be useful for someone else starting to learn these subjects.

Randomly, I will also write about my hobbies: artistic calligraphy, ancient languages study (mainly Ancient Greek and Latin), as well as electronics…

Before closing this short first post, I would like to quote Brian Keng (you must definitely check out his blog and note the similarities with mine!) by saying that “For a long time I’ve resisted making a blog about anything technical because, to be frank, I didn’t feel like I was qualified. What makes me more qualified now? Nothing really, I’m just a bit less afraid of being wrong.”

Please, feel free to interact using the comment board as well as sending me e-mails or twitter messages.

Thank you.
