[@yuanzhao1282]

The best tutorial on the intuition behind the Variational Bayes I’ve seen so far.

This talk blows all the other explanations out there online out of water. She is so engaging, I somehow managed to stay concentrated throughout the 2 hours!

I was stuck while doing my thesis then i came to Gamma Function then i got my result and you are doing the same. Awesome scientist Tamara Broderick. I want to be your student in the near future.

Thank you for this excellent talk. Everything is very clear and well explained : what is the problem, why do we choose this object instead of another one, how it works, limitation,.... a lot of questions that we ask to ourselves when we learn the method and for which we can spend a lot of time to find the good explanation, information etc... So thank you very much. In French we say "Ce que l'on conçoit bien s’énonce clairement, et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément" which can be translated as "What is well conceived is clearly stated, and the words to say it come easily." I think it is relevant for her.
