Bayesian Learning - Fundamentals and Applications

Fouad Sabry

Sinopsis

What Is Bayesian Learning

In the field of statistics, an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is an iterative approach to discover (local) maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates of parameters in statistical models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. EM algorithms are also known as maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimations. The expectation (E) step of the EM iteration creates a function for the expectation of the log-likelihood evaluated using the current estimate for the parameters, and the maximization (M) step of the EM iteration computes parameters with the goal of maximizing the expected log-likelihood found on the expectation step. These two steps are performed in alternating fashion throughout the iteration. These parameter-estimates are then utilized in the subsequent E phase, which serves the purpose of determining the distribution of the latent variables.

The Bleep Test - How New Doctors...

Luke Austen, Professor Dame...

What does it mean to help save someone's life? How does it feel to nearly kill a patient? Can we keep our patients safe at night? In the face of overwhelming pressures, can we thrive or only survive? And is a happy life as a doctor still possible? 
 
 
 
In the early months and years of work, it is these kinds of questions, rather than any technical or knowledge-based queries, which preoccupy many new doctors. This elusive, hidden curriculum is pervasive within departments, around hospitals, and across health systems, but is rarely, if ever, explicitly examined and discussed. At its core is the issue that should matter above all others—how we can keep our patients as safe as possible. 
 
 
 
The Bleep Test combines gripping and startlingly vulnerable recollections of early experiences on the wards with an array of research findings, from psychology and human biology to anthropology, business, and behavioral economics. Acknowledging that the truly complex challenges facing new doctors lie far beyond the realms of the traditional medical sciences in which they were trained, the book explains that the shift to being a doctor depends on first understanding how we think, reason, and behave as someone we have been all our lives—a human amongst humans.

Vibe Coding for Beginners - A...

Elnaz Sarraf

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Coding no longer has to feel intimidating, overwhelming, or technical. A new way of building software is emerging, one that focuses on flow, creativity, and intuition instead of syntax, memorization, and complexity. That approach is called vibe coding.
Vibe Coding for Beginners is a practical introduction to building apps, automations, and AI-powered projects without a traditional coding background. This book is designed for absolute beginners, creatives, founders, and non-technical builders who want to create real things with code without getting stuck in tutorials, frameworks, or developer jargon.
Instead of teaching you how to think like a programmer, this guide teaches you how to think like a builder. You learn how to use modern AI tools, no-code and low-code platforms, and prompt-driven development to bring ideas to life quickly and confidently.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
Understand what vibe coding is and why it works for beginners
Build apps and tools without learning complex syntax
Use AI to generate, explain, and improve code
Turn ideas into working projects using prompts and intuition
Build automations that save time and reduce manual work
Create simple web apps, tools, and workflows
Debug and improve projects without technical stress
Learn coding concepts naturally through building
Stay in flow instead of getting stuck or overwhelmed
Build confidence as a non-technical creator
This book focuses on momentum, creativity, and learning by doing. You are guided through real examples and practical projects that help you understand how modern coding actually works in the real world. Instead of perfection, the goal is progress. Instead of rules, the focus is experimentation.
Vibe Coding for Beginners is perfect for people who have always wanted to build but have been blocked by fear, complexity, or the belief that coding isn't for them.
