Transforming one probability distribution to another is a powerful tool in Bayesian inference and machine learning, e.g. constrained-to-unconstrained transformations of distributions for use in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo or constructing flexible and learnable densities such as normalizing flows.
In this talk we'll have a look at how we can use Bijectors.jl to do all of the above and more!

Hey. My name is Tor, like the onion browser or the norse god. Neither are fitting; I'm not a man of many layers nor am I long-haired and muscular. I'm currently working as a research assistant in the Machine Learning group at University of Cambridge where I spend time doing research and working on Turing.jl and it's related packages, e.g Bijectors.jl. It's all related to probabilities, and it's all good fun.
And like you, I of course loooove Julia!
