Variational inference starts from a latent-variable model \(p_\theta(x,z)\) and the posterior \(p_\theta(z\mid x)\). The difficulty is the evidence p_\theta(x)=\int p_\theta(x,z)\,dz, which makes ...

Abstract: Understanding human behavior represents a paramount challenge in modern social systems. This task must be tackled with tools that both explain the mechanisms underlying the social dynamics ...

Abstract: This paper studies task-oriented communication for cooperative edge inference in wireless sensor networks, where multiple edge devices transmit compact feature representations to a central ...

ERTVI is an open-source code used for quantifying resistivity distributions and associated uncertainties in electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) using variational inference (especially SVGD or ...

When we read stories, watch films or TV shows, look at pictures or play video games, we use lots of different skills to work out what is happening. One of these skills is called inference. Inferring ...
