What you'll learn

  • Explore TensorFlow Probability (TFP) and Project Magenta, a research project exploring the role of machine learning in the process of creating art and music

Description

TensorFlow Probability (TFP) is a TF/Python library offering a modern take on both emerging and traditional probability and statistics tools. Statisticians and data scientists will find R-like capabilities, which naturally leverage modern hardware, while ML researchers and practitioners will find powerful building blocks for specifying and learning deep, probabilistic models.

Joshua Dillon and Wolff Dobson discuss core TFP abstractions and demo some of TFP’s modeling power and convenience. They also share some of the recent results from Project Magenta, a research project exploring the role of machine learning in the process of creating art and music.
