Temperature and Friction Accelerated Sampling of Boltzmann-Gibbs Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with tuning friction and temperature in Langevin dynamics for fast sampling from the canonical ensemble. We show that near-optimal acceleration is achieved by choosing friction so that the local quadratic approximation of the Hamiltonian is a critical damped oscillator. The system is also overheated and cooled down to its final temperature. The performances of different cooling schedules are analyzed as functions of total simulation time.

Mixing Rates for the Alternating Gibbs Sampler over Restricted Boltzmann Machines and Friends
Alternating Gibbs sampling is a modification of classical Gibbs sampling where several variables are simultaneously sampled from their joint conditional distribution. In this work, we investigate the mixing rate of alternating Gibbs sampling with a particular emphasis on Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) and variants.
متن کاملMixing Rates for the Gibbs Sampler over Restricted Boltzmann Machines
The mixing rate of a Markov chain (Xt)t=0 is the minimum number of steps before the distribution of Xt is close to its stationary distribution with respect to total variation distance. In this work, we give upper and lower bounds for the mixing rate of the Gibbs sampler over Restricted Boltzmann Machines.
متن کاملBoltzmann machines and energy-based models
We review Boltzmann machines and energy-based models. A Boltzmann machine defines a probability distribution over binary-valued patterns. One can learn parameters of a Boltzmann machine via gradient based approaches in a way that log likelihood of data is increased. The gradient and Laplacian of a Boltzmann machine admit beautiful mathematical representations, although computing them is in gene...

The data analysis problem of step-stress accelerated life testing with exponential distribution is discussed. At the step-stress accelerated life testing conditions, an approximate E-Bayesian parameter estimation of step-stress accelerated life testing with exponential distribution is given by considering the prior distributions of the hyperparameters and using Gibbs sampling method. Finally, a...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann method for MHD natural convection of CuO/water nanofluid in a wavy-walled cavity with sinusoidal temperature distribution
In this paper, natural convection heat transfer of CuO-water Nanofluid within a wavy-walled cavity and subjected to a uniform magnetic field is examined by adopting the lattice Boltzmann model. The left wavy wall is heated sinusoidal, while the right flat wall is maintained at the constant temperature of Tc. The top and the bottom horizontal walls are smooth and insulated against heat and mass....
