EigenVI: score-based variational inference with orthogonal function expansions
Diana Cai, Chirag Modi, Charles C. Margossian +3
We develop EigenVI, an eigenvalue-based approach for black-box variational inference (BBVI). EigenVI constructs its variational approximations from orthogonal function expansions.…

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…
