Tree-Based Inference for Dirichlet Process Mixtures
The Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) is a widely used model for clustering and for general nonparametric Bayesian density estimation. Unfortunately, like in many statistical models, exact inference in a DPM is intractable, and approximate methods are needed to perform efficient inference. While most attention in the literature has been placed on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) [1, 2, 3], variati...
متن کاملVariational inference for Dirichlet process mixtures
Dirichlet process (DP) mixture models are the cornerstone of nonparametric Bayesian statistics, and the development of Monte-Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) sampling methods for DP mixtures has enabled the application of nonparametric Bayesian methods to a variety of practical data analysis problems. However, MCMC sampling can be prohibitively slow, and it is important to explore alternatives. One cl...
متن کاملStreaming Variational Inference for Dirichlet Process Mixtures
Bayesian nonparametric models are theoretically suitable to learn streaming data due to their complexity relaxation to the volume of observed data. However, most of the existing variational inference algorithms are not applicable to streaming applications since they require truncation on variational distributions. In this paper, we present two truncation-free variational algorithms, one for mix...
متن کاملApproximate Inference for Deep Latent Gaussian Mixtures
Deep latent Gaussian models (DLGMs) composed of density and inference networks [14]—the pipeline that defines a Variational Autoencoder [8]—have achieved notable success on tasks ranging from image modeling [3] to semi-supervised classification [6, 11]. However, the approximate posterior in these models is usually chosen to be a factorized Gaussian, thereby imposing strong constraints on the po...
متن کاملHybrid Parallel Inference for Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes
The hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) can provide a nonparametric prior for a mixture model with grouped data, where mixture components are shared across groups. However, the computational cost is generally very high in terms of both time and space complexity. Therefore, developing a method for fast inference of HDP remains a challenge. In this paper, we assume a symmetric multiprocessing (S...
