The ELBO of Variational Autoencoders Converges to a Sum of Three Entropies
Simon Damm, Dennis Forster, Dmytro Velychko +3
The central objective function of a variational autoencoder (VAE) is its variational lower bound (the ELBO). Here we show that for standard (i.e., Gaussian) VAEs the ELBO converges…
Black-box density function estimation using recursive partitioning
Erik Bodin, Zhenwen Dai, Neill D. F. Campbell +1
We present a novel approach to Bayesian inference and general Bayesian computation that is defined through a sequential decision loop. Our method defines a recursive partitioning o…
Intrinsic Gaussian Processes on Manifolds and Their Accelerations by Symmetry
Ke Ye, Mu Niu, Pokman Cheung +2
Amidst the growing interest in nonparametric regression, we address a significant challenge in Gaussian processes(GP) applied to manifold-based predictors. Existing methods primari…
