Sample miniprojects to get use to the PhD research

Shared Python modules live in libs/ at the project root (MCMC, SMC, model search, etc.). Notebooks under notebooks/ import them as from libs import ....

Activate the environment with source activate.sh so PYTHONPATH includes the repo root, or run python setup_path.py before importing in a notebook kernel.

Topics covered:

1. MCMC
2. SMC Samplers
3. Tempering Algorithms (Simulated, Parallel)
4. Machine Learning
5. Generative Models (Diffusion, etc)
