Ryan Giordano, Runjing Liu, Michael I. Jordan +1
Bayesian models based on the Dirichlet process and other stick-breaking priors have been proposed as core ingredients for clustering, topic modeling, and other unsupervised learnin…
Rao-Blackwellized Stochastic Gradients for Discrete Distributions
Runjing Liu, Jeffrey Regier, Nilesh Tripuraneni +2
We wish to compute the gradient of an expectation over a finite or countably infinite sample space having categories. When is indeed infinite, or finite but ver…
A Swiss Army Infinitesimal Jackknife
