A practical tutorial on Variational Bayes
This tutorial gives a quick introduction to Variational Bayes (VB), also called Variational Inference or Variational Approximation, from a practical point of view. The paper covers a range of commonly used VB methods and an attempt is made to keep the materials accessible to the wide community of data analysis practitioners. The aim is that the reader can quickly derive and implement their first VB algorithm for Bayesian inference with their data analysis problem. An end-user software package in Matlab together with the documentation can be found at https://vbayeslab.github.io/VBLabDocs/

Tutorial: Deriving the Standard Variational Autoencoder (VAE) Loss Function
In Bayesian machine learning, the posterior distribution is typically computationally intractable, hence variational inference is often required. In this approach, an evidence lower bound on the log likelihood of data is…

Bayesian methods have proved powerful in many applications for the inference of model parameters from data. These methods are based on Bayes' theorem, which itself is deceptively simple. However, in practice the computat…

Variational inference uses optimization, rather than integration, to approximate the marginal likelihood, and thereby the posterior, in a Bayesian model. Thanks to advances in computational scalability made in the last d…
Variational InferenceA Tutorial on VAEs: From Bayes' Rule to Lossless Compression
The Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) is a simple, efficient, and popular deep maximum likelihood model. Though usage of VAEs is widespread, the derivation of the VAE is not as widely understood. In this tutorial, we will p…
