What Hacker News says?

  1. Hey everyone, I've written a new blog post ( https://rajatvd.github.io/Factor-Graphs/ ) on an awesome visualization tool that I recently came across -- factor graphs. Initially, I encountered them in the context of message passing on graphical models, but soon realized that they are useful in more general contexts. This is the first post in a series that covers the basics and mainly focuses on understanding how fact…
