EigenVI: score-based variational inference with orthogonal function expansions

Diana Cai, Chirag Modi, Charles C. Margossian +3

We develop EigenVI, an eigenvalue-based approach for black-box variational inference (BBVI). EigenVI constructs its variational approximations from orthogonal function expansions.…

Delayed rejection Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for sampling multiscale distributions

Chirag Modi, Alex Barnett, Bob Carpenter

The efficiency of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) can suffer when sampling a distribution with a wide range of length scales, because the small step sizes needed for stability in hig…

Joint velocity and density reconstruction of the Universe with nonlinear differentiable forward modeling

Adrian E. Bayer, Chirag Modi, Simone Ferraro

Reconstructing the initial conditions of the Universe from late-time observations has the potential to optimally extract cosmological information. Due to the high dimensionality of…
