TL;DR通过Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC)与varational inference(VI)相结合,并引入variational contrastive divergence(VCD)作为新的divergence,可以更好的预测潜在变量模型。
Abstract
We develop a method to combine markov chain monte carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI), leveraging the advantages of both inference approaches. Specifically, we improve the variational distribution by runn
