Boosting Variational Inference
Modern Bayesian inference typically requires some form of posterior approximation, and mean-field variational inference (MFVI) is an increasingly popular choice due to its speed. But MFVI can be inaccurate in various aspects, including an inability to capture multimodality in the posterior and underestimation of the posterior covariance. These issues arise since MFVI considers approximations to...
متن کاملDistributed Estimation of Dynamic Fields over Multi-agent Networks
This work presents distributed algorithms for estimation of timevarying random fields over multi-agent/sensor networks. A network of sensors makes sparse and noisy local measurements of the dynamic field. Each sensor aims to obtain unbiased distributed estimates of the entire field with bounded mean-squared error (MSE) based on its own local observations and its neighbors’ estimates. This work ...
متن کاملDistributed Inference : Combining Variational Inference
The study of inference techniques and their use for solving complicated models has taken off in recent years, but as the models we attempt to solve become more complex, there is a worry that our inference techniques will be unable to produce results. Many problems are difficult to solve using current approaches because it takes too long for our implementations to converge on useful values. Whil...
متن کاملBoosting Variational Inference: an Optimization Perspective
Variational inference is a popular technique to approximate a possibly intractable Bayesian posterior with a more tractable one. Recently, boosting variational inference [20, 4] has been proposed as a new paradigm to approximate the posterior by a mixture of densities by greedily adding components to the mixture. However, as is the case with many other variational inference algorithms, its theo...
متن کاملTracking performance of incremental LMS algorithm over adaptive distributed sensor networks
in this paper we focus on the tracking performance of incremental adaptive LMS algorithm in an adaptive network. For this reason we consider the unknown weight vector to be a time varying sequence. First we analyze the performance of network in tracking a time varying weight vector and then we explain the estimation of Rayleigh fading channel through a random walk model. Closed form relations a...
