Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Hey folks, do you know someone who works on active inference / energy based models in machine learning? I'm interested in the field and I'd love to connect.
