Variational inference and Gibbs sampling methods for it are also well-known. However, the variational approximation error has not been clarified yet, because NMF is not statistically regular and the prior distr
2、VAEs采用approximation引入的误差(error)非常小,使模型具有很强的建模能力。这些优点也是VAEs快速流行的原因。 与传统的自动编码器AE,比如稀疏自动编码器和降噪自动编码器,相比,VAEs核心技巧是变分推理(variational inference)和参数重写(reparameterization)技术,其背景知识设计到了图模型和概率论中很多知识:隐变量模型...

It does so by minimizing a Monte Carlo approximation of the exponentiated upper bound, L = exp{n · CUBOn(λ)}. 4 Algorithm 1: χ-divergence variational inference (CHIVI) Input: Data x, Model p(x, z), Variational family q(z; λ). Output: Variational parameters λ. Initialize λ ...
Real data, 比如natural images,它是非常高维的数据,但他一般处在一个low dimensional manifold上面。VAE使用Gaussian approximation去做inference,通常也假设p是gaussian的,这样缺点就是没办法capture这个low dimensional structure。因为gaussian不可能做到100%低维。 下期,我们会讨论VAE在vision和NLP上的应用。
Solving Bayesian inference problems approximately with variational approaches can provide fast and accurate results. Capturing correlation within the approximation requires an explicit parametrization. This intrinsically limits this approach to either moderately dimensional problems, or requiring the strongly ...

assumed that the approximate posterior has a spike-and-slab distribution; although it is not conjugated to the logistic distribution, we observed it to provide a good approximation to the true posterior. The ELBO, which we again optimized using stochastic variational inference, now takes the form:...
required to exploit this algorithm. Using variational inference in these settings require algorithms to be adjusted to for the specific model requirement. A variety of strategies have been explored including alternative bounds ([27,28]), numerical quadrature [29] and Monte Carlo approximation [30]....
During inference, we search for optimal μsposterior,σsposterior that best describe the data, even though the ground-truth posterior might not truly be a normal distribution — hence this is an approximation. By carefully choosing the appropriate distribution for each variable, we believe that ...
