VIKING: Deep variational inference with stochastic projections
Samuel G. Fadel, Hrittik Roy, Nicholas Krämer +5
Variational mean field approximations tend to struggle with contemporary overparametrized deep neural networks. Where a Bayesian treatment is usually associated with high-quality p…
Identifying Metric Structures of Deep Latent Variable Models
Stas Syrota, Yevgen Zainchkovskyy, Johnny Xi +2
Deep latent variable models learn condensed representations of data that, hopefully, reflect the inner workings of the studied phenomena. Unfortunately, these latent representation…
A survey and benchmark of high-dimensional Bayesian optimization of discrete sequences
Miguel González-Duque, Richard Michael, Simon Bartels +3
Optimizing discrete black-box functions is key in several domains, e.g. protein engineering and drug design. Due to the lack of gradient information and the need for sample efficie…
A Continuous Relaxation for Discrete Bayesian Optimization
Richard Michael, Simon Bartels, Miguel González-Duque +4
To optimize efficiently over discrete data and with only few available target observations is a challenge in Bayesian optimization. We propose a continuous relaxation of the object…
