How is the plate notation represented in probabilistic programming languages like TFP? Here are the notes: [ Ссылка ]
Plate notation can be abstract. In this video I want to demystify it by providing some examples of simple Directed Graphical Models. Most importantly, we will also uncover the relationship between datasets in plate notation.
