Variational Refinement for Importance Sampling Using the Forward Kullback-Leibler Divergence
Ghassen Jerfel, Serena Wang, Clara Fannjiang +3
Variational Inference (VI) is a popular alternative to asymptotically exact sampling in Bayesian inference. Its main workhorse is optimization over a reverse Kullback-Leibler diver…
