Stability of Sequential and Parallel Coordinate Ascent Variational Inference
Debdeep Pati
We highlight a striking difference in behavior between two widely used variants of coordinate ascent variational inference: the sequential and parallel algorithms. While such diffe…

Structured Optimal Variational Inference for Dynamic Latent Space Models
Peng Zhao, Anirban Bhattacharya, Debdeep Pati +1
We consider a latent space model for dynamic networks, where our objective is to estimate the pairwise inner products plus the intercept of the latent positions. To balance posteri…

Off-Policy Evaluation Using Information Borrowing and Context-Based Switching
Sutanoy Dasgupta, Yabo Niu, Kishan Panaganti +3
We consider the off-policy evaluation (OPE) problem in contextual bandits, where the goal is to estimate the value of a target policy using the data collected by a logging policy.…
