Read MoreCongratulations! Our paper “f-Divergence Variational Inference” got accepted by NeurIPS 2020! Link: Paper (Arxiv) | Video f-Divergence Variational Inference Neng Wan*, Dapeng Li*, and Naira Hovakimyan Abstract: This paper introduces the f-divergence variational inference (f-VI) that generalizes variational inference to all f-divergences. Initiated from minimizing a crafty surrogate f-divergence that shares the statistical consistency with […]
