On the detrimental effect of invariances in the likelihood for variational inference
Richard Kurle, Ralf Herbrich, Tim Januschowski +2
Variational Bayesian posterior inference often requires simplifying approximations such as mean-field parametrisation to ensure tractability. However, prior work has associated the…
Deep Explicit Duration Switching Models for Time Series
Abdul Fatir Ansari, Konstantinos Benidis, Richard Kurle +5
Many complex time series can be effectively subdivided into distinct regimes that exhibit persistent dynamics. Discovering the switching behavior and the statistical patterns in th…
Learning Hierarchical Priors in VAEs
Alexej Klushyn, Nutan Chen, Richard Kurle +2
We propose to learn a hierarchical prior in the context of variational autoencoders to avoid the over-regularisation resulting from a standard normal prior distribution. To incenti…
Multi-Source Neural Variational Inference
Richard Kurle, Stephan Günnemann, Patrick van der Smagt
Learning from multiple sources of information is an important problem in machine-learning research. The key challenges are learning representations and formulating inference method…
