Final Week into GSoC

Hello all. So, this blog is meant to summarize the work done in the last week of GSoC. I will write a separate post covering the entire work done in three months. Stay tuned.

I have been working on adding features to ADVI. Here is the PR #310.

• Add progress bar support.
• Test progress bar in different OS.
• Add ParameterConvergence criteria to test convergence.
• Add LowRank Approximation.
• Add LowRank ADVI tests.
• Update quickstart notebook.

The only thing left is including a sample notebook playing around with hierarchical models and VI. I have already written half of it. Hope this PR will get merged soon.

See you soon.

Thanks Sayam Kumar
