• This peculiar behaviour appears not new: several colleagues vividly remember past "epidemics", the peaks of contagion in the form of (sort of) "religious" or "sectarian" exaltation when academy/industry advertising campaigns succeeded in persuading of an imminent and irreversible technical/scientific revolution - e.g. #Bayesian "semantic" networks, #SupportVectorMachines, #RandomForest classifiers/regressors, #blockchain everywhere, ... "new species" which with time found their niche

📢 Excited about our (Louisa Kulke & Fatima Felisberti) new paper in Motivation & Emotion! It echoes a theme from my recent ISRE talk: rigorous methods, precise estimates, and theory-driven predictions are essential if we want cumulative emotion science. #emotion #bayesian #empathy #jasp #OpenScience #Preregistration #opendata #opencode https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11031-026-10266-x

I recently discovered @betanalpha@fediscience.org 's writing on the foundations of probability theory, and they're very very good: https://betanalpha.github.io/writing/ I understand all this algebra and analysis is too heavy for most undergrads. But it does give the topic the serious treatment it deserves (topology, Hausdorff spaces, measure theory, conditional distributions over partitions) while still providing enough background to understand it. I highly recommend it! #bayesian #statistics
