MCMC for doubly-intractable distributions
Iain Murray, Zoubin Ghahramani, David MacKay
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are routinely used to draw samples from distributions with intractable normalization constants. However, standard MCMC algorithms do not…
Elliptical slice sampling
Iain Murray, Ryan Prescott Adams, David J. C. MacKay
Many probabilistic models introduce strong dependencies between variables using a latent multivariate Gaussian distribution or a Gaussian process. We present a new Markov chain Mon…
Nonparametric Bayesian Density Modeling with Gaussian Processes
Ryan Prescott Adams, Iain Murray, David J. C. MacKay
We present the Gaussian process density sampler (GPDS), an exchangeable generative model for use in nonparametric Bayesian density estimation. Samples drawn from the GPDS are consi…
