Meta Variational Monte Carlo
An identification is found between meta-learning and the problem of determining the ground state of a randomly generated Hamiltonian drawn from a known ensemble. A model-agnostic meta-learning approach is proposed to solve the associated learning problem and a preliminary experimental study of random Max-Cut problems indicates that the resulting Meta Variational Monte Carlo accelerates training and improves convergence.

Recursive Monte Carlo and Variational Inference with Auxiliary Variables
A key design constraint when implementing Monte Carlo and variational inference algorithms is that it must be possible to cheaply and exactly evaluate the marginal densities of proposal distributions and variational fami…

Optimally trading-off exploration and exploitation is the holy grail of reinforcement learning as it promises maximal data-efficiency for solving any task. Bayes-optimal agents achieve this, but obtaining the belief-stat…
Reinforcement LearningUphill Roads to Variational Tightness: Monotonicity and Monte Carlo Objectives
We revisit the theory of importance weighted variational inference (IWVI), a promising strategy for learning latent variable models. IWVI uses new variational bounds, known as Monte Carlo objectives (MCOs), obtained by r…
Variational InferenceUsing conditional variational autoencoders to generate images from atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
High-energy particles hitting the upper atmosphere of the Earth produce extensive air showers that can be detected from the ground level using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The images recorded by Cherenkov te…
Variational Sequential Monte Carlo
Many recent advances in large scale probabilistic inference rely on variational methods. The success of variational approaches depends on (i) formulating a flexible parametric family of distributions, and (ii) optimizing…
