Variational Inference for Uncertainty Quantification: an Analysis of Trade-offs
Charles C. Margossian, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien, Lawrence K. Saul
Given an intractable distribution , the problem of variational inference (VI) is to find the best approximation from some more tractable family . Commonly, one chooses to…

Batch and match: black-box variational inference with a score-based divergence
Diana Cai, Chirag Modi, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien +4
Most leading implementations of black-box variational inference (BBVI) are based on optimizing a stochastic evidence lower bound (ELBO). But such approaches to BBVI often converge…
