Bytes and Bias– Unraveling the Influence of Gender Dynamics in Open Source Software | HackerNoon

Too Long; Didn’t Read Open Source Software (OSS) faces gender biases despite its collaborative nature, affecting women’s participation and contributions. Studies show women are underrepresented, face communication barriers, and encounter biases in evaluation processes. This limits diversity, innovation, and profitability in OSS. To address this, OSS communities must implement inclusive guidelines, offer education and networking opportunities, use bias mitigation tools, and seek continuous improvement and feedback to create a more welcoming and equitable environment for

AutoBNN: Probabilistic time series forecasting with compositional bayesian neural networks

Posted by Urs Köster, Software Engineer, Google Research Time series problems are ubiquitous, from forecasting weather and traffic patterns to understanding economic trends. Bayesian approaches start with an assumption about the data’s patterns (prior probability), collecting evidence (e.g., new time series data), and continuously updating that assumption to form a posterior probability distribution. Traditional Bayesian approaches like Gaussian processes (GPs) and Structural Time Series are extensively used for modeling time series data, e.g., the commonly
