Quasi-Monte Carlo Variational Inference
Alexander Buchholz, Florian Wenzel, Stephan Mandt
Many machine learning problems involve Monte Carlo gradient estimators. As a prominent example, we focus on Monte Carlo variational inference (MCVI) in this paper. The performance…
Scalable Generalized Dynamic Topic Models
Patrick Jähnichen, Florian Wenzel, Marius Kloft +1
Dynamic topic models (DTMs) model the evolution of prevalent themes in literature, online media, and other forms of text over time. DTMs assume that word co-occurrence statistics c…
Efficient Gaussian Process Classification Using Polya-Gamma Data Augmentation
Florian Wenzel, Theo Galy-Fajou, Christan Donner +2
We propose a scalable stochastic variational approach to GP classification building on Polya-Gamma data augmentation and inducing points. Unlike former approaches, we obtain closed…
