چکیده
Potential functions g(x) : R→ R that are piecewise smooth with a finite number of discontinuities have expectation 〈 g(wTx) 〉 qw(w|A,b,θ) that is smooth in A,b provided that qv(v) is smooth in v. In this context we say that a function is smooth if it has continuous second order partial derivatives. Specifically, we require that g(x) is piecewise smooth and so can be expressed as a sum of functions

Learning Structural Element Patch Models With Hierarchical Palettes: Supplementary material
1. Variational inference and learning We derive the variational inference updates in this section. We use these updates as an E-step in a variational EM framework that is guaranteed to increase a lower bound on the data likelihood. The variational inference updates for our Q-distributions are given below.
متن کاملSupplementary Material: Reliable and Scalable Variational Inference for the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process
Abstract This document contains supplementary details for the AISTATS 2015 paper “Reliable and scalable variational inference for the Hierarchical Dirichlet process” (Hughes et al., 2015). First, we show more detailed traceplots from the topic model experiments. Next, we provide expanded closedform expressions for various ELBO terms in Sec. B, and a detailed derivation of our surrogate bound in...
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 ...
متن کاملSupplementary Material for Adversarial Variational Bayes: Unifying Variational Autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks
In the main text we derived Adversarial Variational Bayes (AVB) and demonstrated its usefulness both for black-box Variational Inference and for learning latent variable models. This document contains proofs that were omitted in the main text as well as some further details about the experiments and additional results.
متن کاملAn Introduction to Bayesian Inference Via Variational Approximations∗
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have facilitated an explosion of interest in Bayesian methods. MCMC is an incredibly useful and important tool, but can face difficulties when used to estimate complex posteriors or models applied to large data sets. In this paper I show how a recently developed tool in computer science for fitting Bayesian models, variational approximations, can be used ...
