Covariance Matrices for Mean Field Variational Bayes
With increasingly efficient data collection methods, scientists are interested in quickly analyzing ever larger data sets. In particular, the promise of these large data sets is not simply to fit old models but instead to learn more nuanced patterns from data than has been possible in the past. In theory, the Bayesian paradigm promises exactly these desiderata. Hierarchical modeling allows prac...
متن کاملSemiparametric Mean Field Variational Bayes: General Principles and Numerical Issues
We introduce the term semiparametric mean field variational Bayes to describe the relaxation of mean field variational Bayes in which some density functions in the product density restriction are pre-specified to be members of convenient parametric families. This notion has appeared in various guises in the mean field variational Bayes literature during its history and we endeavor to unify this...
متن کاملMean-field variational approximate Bayesian inference for latent variable models
The ill-posed nature of missing variable models offers a challenging testing ground for new computational techniques. This is the case for the mean-field variational Bayesian inference. The behavior of this approach in the setting of the Bayesian probit model is illustrated. It is shown that the mean-field variational method always underestimates the posterior variance and, that, for small samp...
متن کاملApproximate Riemannian Conjugate Gradient Learning for Fixed-Form Variational Bayes
Variational Bayesian (VB) methods are typically only applied to models in the conjugate-exponential family using the variational Bayesian expectation maximisation (VB EM) algorithm or one of its variants. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for applying VB to more general models. The method is based on specifying the functional form of the approximation, such as multivariate Gaussia...
متن کاملDoubly Stochastic Variational Bayes for non-Conjugate Inference
We propose a simple and effective variational inference algorithm based on stochastic optimisation that can be widely applied for Bayesian non-conjugate inference in continuous parameter spaces. This algorithm is based on stochastic approximation and allows for efficient use of gradient information from the model joint density. We demonstrate these properties using illustrative examples as well...
