Stochastic annealing.
We show how to simulate a system in thermal equilibrium when the energy cannot be evaluated exactly: the error distribution needs to be symmetric, but it does not need to be known. We also solve the Ceperley-Dewing version of this problem, where the error distribution is taken to be fully known. These underlying ideas give an effective optimization strategy for problems where the evaluation of ...
متن کاملAnnealing of Iterative Stochastic Schemes
Annealing of general iterative stochastic schemes is studied by using Wentzell’s large deviation theory. The convergence of this algorithm is shown under some conditions. The closed form of the critical constant is specified in terms of its potential function of the mean model.
متن کاملStochastic Annealing for Variational Inference
We empirically evaluate a stochastic annealing strategy for Bayesian posterior optimization with variational inference. Variational inference is a deterministic approach to approximate posterior inference in Bayesian models in which a typically non-convex objective function is locally optimized over the parameters of the approximating distribution. We investigate an annealing method for optimiz...
متن کاملParallel Simulated Annealing for Stochastic Reservoir Modeling
Simulatedannealing (SA) Wutiques have shown great potential to generate geologically realistic permeability fields by combining data from many sources, such as well logs, cores, and tracer tests. However, the application of SA in reservoir description and simulation is limited owing to its prohibitively large computational time requirement, even on modern MqXWornputem. This paper introduces an ...
متن کاملDeterministic Annealing for Stochastic Variational Inference
Stochastic variational inference (SVI) maps posterior inference in latent variable models to nonconvex stochastic optimization. While they enable approximate posterior inference for many otherwise intractable models, variational inference methods suffer from local optima. We introduce deterministic annealing for SVI to overcome this issue. We introduce a temperature parameter that deterministic...
