Accurate and Conservative Estimates of MRF Log-likelihood using Reverse Annealing
Yuri Burda, Roger B. Grosse, Ruslan Salakhutdinov
Markov random fields (MRFs) are difficult to evaluate as generative models because computing the test log-probabilities requires the intractable partition function. Annealed import…
Testing MCMC code
Roger B. Grosse, David K. Duvenaud
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are a workhorse of probabilistic modeling and inference, but are difficult to debug, and are prone to silent failure if implemented naive…
Automatic Construction and Natural-Language Description of Nonparametric Regression Models
James Robert Lloyd, David Duvenaud, Roger Grosse +2
This paper presents the beginnings of an automatic statistician, focusing on regression problems. Our system explores an open-ended space of statistical models to discover a good e…
