I owe my entire ML career to @lilianweng and her blogs
Specially on beta-VAE. That blog changed the way I saw generative modeling
Ryo (@siantgirl):
Besides Li Feifei (Fei-Fei Li), I also discovered there’s a particularly beautiful young woman in the AI circle named Lilian Weng (翁荔). She graduated from Peking University and has a PhD from Indiana University. She has a super famous tech blog, Lil’Log. This blog has a huge influence in the AI engineering community. She is especially good at explaining complex papers clearly. Many people even say: “Lilian’s blog is one of the bibles for AI engineers.”
