In Google colab there is no need to clone the repo or preinstall anything -- all jupyter runtimes come with the basic packages like numpy, scipy, and matplotlib and deep learning libraries keras, tensorflow, and pytorch.

The only step to make is to change the runtime type to GPU in Edit > Notebook settings or Runtime>Change runtime type by selecting GPU as Hardware accelerator.

Please make sure that you have the following packages installed:

• tqdm
• numpy
• torch >= 1.1

The most convenient way to ensure this is use Anaconda with python 3.7.

When all prerequisites have been met, please, clone this repository and install it with:

git clone https://github.com/ivannz/mlss2019-bayesian-deep-learning.git

cd mlss2019-bayesian-deep-learning

pip install --editable .

This will install the necessary service python code that will make the seminar much more concise and, hopefully, your learning experience better.

The version presented at MLSS Moscow Aug 26 - Sep 5, 2019, can also be found in the MLSS2019 repo. Here it sits under the tag mlss2019-Aug-30.
