My understanding in Bayesian Optimization

In this post, I am going to share my understanding in Bayesian Optimization. Bayesian Optimization is closely related Gaussian Process, a probabilistic model explained in details in a textbook called “Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning” [1]. In the following, “p. ” will refer to a specific page in [1] where the content comes from.  First, let’s dive into the …

Combinatorial Optimization using Pointer Network (Code Walkthrough)

In this post, I am going to walk through an online piece of code [7] which implements the idea of [1]: using pointer network [2] to solve travelling salesman problem. Pointer networks, in my understanding, are neural network architectures for the problems where output sequences come from the permutation of input sequences. Some background posts …
