Nonparametric variational inference
Variational methods are widely used for approximate posterior inference. However, their use is typically limited to families of distributions that enjoy particular conjugacy properties. To circumvent this limitation, we propose a family of variational approximations inspired by nonparametric kernel density estimation. The locations of these kernels and their bandwidth are treated as variational...
متن کاملOptimization of vibrational coordinates
The enormous progress made in recent years in the techniques for detecting and analysing highly excited vibrational states of polyatomic molecules has prompted development of theoretical quantum mechanical methods to determine and characterize these states. A number of techniques, both approximate and exact, have been proposed for solving the vibrational Schro dinger equation and special atten...
متن کاملReaction coordinates of biomolecular isomerization.
Transition path sampling has been applied to the molecular dynamics of the alanine dipeptide in vacuum and in aqueous solution. The analysis shows that more degrees of freedom than the traditional dihedral angles, phi and psi, are necessary to describe the reaction coordinates for isomerization of this molecule. In vacuum, an additional dihedral angle is identified as significant. In solution, ...
متن کاملVariational Optimization
We discuss a general technique that can be used to form a differentiable bound on the optima of non-differentiable or discrete objective functions. We form a unified description of these methods and consider under which circumstances the bound is concave. In particular we consider two concrete applications of the method, namely sparse learning and support vector classification. 1 Optimization b...
متن کاملVariational Inference for Nonparametric Multiple Clustering
Most clustering algorithms produce a single clustering solution. Similarly, feature selection for clustering tries to find one feature subset where one interesting clustering solution resides. However, a single data set may be multi-faceted and can be grouped and interpreted in many different ways, especially for high dimensional data, where feature selection is typically needed. Moreover, diff...
