Heiko Zimmermann, Hao Wu, Babak Esmaeili +1
We develop nested variational inference (NVI), a family of methods that learn proposals for nested importance samplers by minimizing an forward or reverse KL divergence at each lev…

Learning Proposals for Probabilistic Programs with Inference Combinators
Sam Stites, Heiko Zimmermann, Hao Wu +2
We develop operators for construction of proposals in probabilistic programs, which we refer to as inference combinators. Inference combinators define a grammar over importance sam…
