Fat-Tailed Variational Inference with Anisotropic Tail Adaptive Flows

no code implementations16 May 2022 Feynman Liang, Liam Hodgkinson, Michael W. Mahoney

While fat-tailed densities commonly arise as posterior and marginal distributions in robust models and scale mixtures, they present challenges when Gaussian-based variational inference fails to capture tail decay accurately.

Accelerating Metropolis-Hastings with Lightweight Inference Compilation

1 code implementation23 Oct 2020 Feynman Liang, Nimar Arora, Nazanin Tehrani, Yucen Li, Michael Tingley, Erik Meijer

In order to construct accurate proposers for Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo, we integrate ideas from probabilistic graphical models and neural networks in an open-source framework we call Lightweight Inference Compilation (LIC).

Bayesian experimental design using regularized determinantal point processes

1 code implementation10 Jun 2019 Michał Dereziński, Feynman Liang, Michael W. Mahoney

In experimental design, we are given $n$ vectors in $d$ dimensions, and our goal is to select $k\ll n$ of them to perform expensive measurements, e. g., to obtain labels/responses, for a linear regression task.
