On Using Control Variates with Stochastic Approximation for Variational Bayes and its Connection to Stochastic Linear Regression
Tim Salimans, David A. Knowles
Recently, we and several other authors have written about the possibilities of using stochastic approximation techniques for fitting variational approximations to intractable Bayes…

Fixed-Form Variational Posterior Approximation through Stochastic Linear Regression
Tim Salimans, David A. Knowles
We propose a general algorithm for approximating nonstandard Bayesian posterior distributions. The algorithm minimizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence of an approximating distribut…
