Variational Bayesian Inference For A Scale Mixture Of Normal Distributions Handling Missing Data
In this paper, a scale mixture of Normal distributions model is developed for classification and clustering of data having outliers and missing values. The classification method, based on a mixture model, focuses on the introduction of latent variables that gives us the possibility to handle sensitivity of model to outliers and to allow a less restrictive modelling of missing data. Inference is processed through a Variational Bayesian Approximation and a Bayesian treatment is adopted for model learning, supervised classification and clustering.

Stable Derivative Free Gaussian Mixture Variational Inference for Bayesian Inverse Problems
This paper is concerned with the approximation of probability distributions known up to normalization constants, with a focus on Bayesian inference for large-scale inverse problems in scientific computing. In this contex…

In theory, Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) models are well suited to streaming data scenarios due to their ability to adapt model complexity with the observed data. Unfortunately, such benefits have not been fully realized …
