Hello.

This chapter was not easy to go through. I fell asleep several times and didn't go through some of the math until today. How do I put it — is Ian Goodfellow here? Oh hi/okay that is good. I think, this chapter needs a lot more drama and excitement, so I am going with the choose-your-own-adventure style.

The first split in our adventure is no slides.

Summaries Math

There is a lot of math in this chapter and I myself think that each math thing should need 5 minutes to properly explain. I contemplated how to make it exciting, but eventually gave up, and decided to using eyecontact, and abstract away the math to prevent you all from falling sleep.

This lets us focus on the intuition and strip away the less relevant, prevents you all from falling asleep, but most importantly it prevents potential awkwardness where I don't know what i am doing.

(— because what if you ask questions I can't derive by hand on the spot?! I can't let that happen.)

But instead, all you will get today the notion of inference, why we need to approximate it, different ways of approximating it, and why I am interested in it.

Inference is

This talk is structured with the notion of inference, why we need to approximate it, some ways of approximation, and why i am interested in it.
