Sequential Monte Carlo for Inclusive KL Minimization in Amortized Variational Inference

1 code implementation15 Mar 2024 Declan McNamara, Jackson Loper, Jeffrey Regier

As an alternative, we propose SMC-Wake, a procedure for fitting an amortized variational approximation that uses likelihood-tempered sequential Monte Carlo samplers to estimate the gradient of the inclusive KL divergence.

Amortized Variational Inference with Coverage Guarantees

no code implementations23 May 2023 Yash Patel, Declan McNamara, Jackson Loper, Jeffrey Regier, Ambuj Tewari

We prove lower bounds on the predictive efficiency of the regions produced by CANVI and explore how the quality of a posterior approximation relates to the predictive efficiency of prediction regions based on that approximation.
