Gauging Variational Inference
Computing partition function is the most important statistical inference task arising in applications of Graphical Models (GM). Since it is computationally intractable, approximate methods have been used in practice, where mean-field (MF) and belief propagation (BP) are arguably the most popular and successful approaches of a variational type. In this paper, we propose two new variational schem...
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 کاملVariational Inference for Logical Inference
Functional Distributional Semantics is a framework that aims to learn, from text, semantic representations which can be interpreted in terms of truth. Here we make two contributions to this framework. The first is to show how a type of logical inference can be performed by evaluating conditional probabilities. The second is to make these calculations tractable by means of a variational approxim...
متن کاملVariational Gaussian Copula Inference
We utilize copulas to constitute a unified framework for constructing and optimizing variational proposals in hierarchical Bayesian models. For models with continuous and non-Gaussian hidden variables, we propose a semiparametric and automated variational Gaussian copula approach, in which the parametric Gaussian copula family is able to preserve multivariate posterior dependence, and the nonpa...
متن کاملAffine Independent Variational Inference
We consider inference in a broad class of non-conjugate probabilistic models based on minimising the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the given target density and an approximating ‘variational’ density. In particular, for generalised linear models we describe approximating densities formed from an affine transformation of independently distributed latent variables, this class including many ...
