Fundamentals of Probabilistic Thinking
I start with the premise that probability is not merely a mathematical abstraction but a way of organizing our beliefs. To understand learning probabilistically, you must first learn what a random variable represents — not randomness in the physical sense, but uncertainty in our knowledge. Probabili...

Bayesian Inference and Uncertainty Quantification
Bayesian inference is the beating heart of probabilistic machine learning. At its core lies Bayes’ theorem, which elegantly refines our belief by weighting prior expectations with observed evidence. The prior encodes what we assume before seeing data; the likelihood captures how well the data suppor...
