Variational Inference for Bayesian Bridge Regression
Abstract The bridge approach for regularization of coefficients in regression models uses ℓα norm, with α ∈ (0, +∞), to define a penalization on large values of the regression coefficients. Particular cases include the lasso and ridge penalizations.

Variational Bayesian Inference for Crowdsourcing Predictions [PDF]
Crowdsourcing has emerged as an effective means for performing a number of machine learning tasks such as annotation and labelling of images and other data sets. In most early settings of crowdsourcing, the task involved classification, that is assigning one of a discrete set of labels to each task.

Variational Bayesian Inference for Pairwise Markov Models [PDF]
Generative models based on latent random variables are a popular tool for time series forecasting. Generative models include the Hidden Markov Model, the Recurrent Neural Network and the Stochastic Recurrent Neural Network. In this paper, we exploit the Pairwise Markov Models, a generalization of Hidden Markov models, as generative models.

Variational Bayesian Inference Techniques [PDF]
Milestones in sparse signal reconstruction and compressive sensing can be understood in a probabilistic Bayesian context, fusing underdetermined measurements with knowledge about low-level signal properties in the posterior distribution, which is maximized for point estimation. We review recent progress to advance beyond this setting.

A Geometric Variational Approach to Bayesian Inference [PDF]
We propose a novel Riemannian geometric framework for variational inference in Bayesian models based on the nonparametric Fisher–Rao metric on the manifold of probability density functions. Under the square-root density representation, the manifold can be identified with the positive orthant of the unit hypersphereS∞inL2, and the Fisher–Rao metric ...

A Variational Approach to Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference
Bayesian phylogenetic inference is currently done via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with simple proposal mechanisms. This hinders exploration efficiency and often requires long runs to deliver accurate posterior estimates. In this paper, we present an alternative approach: a variational framework for Bayesian phylogenetic analysis.

Gradient Regularization as Approximate Variational Inference
We developed Variational Laplace for Bayesian neural networks (BNNs), which exploits a local approximation of the curvature of the likelihood to estimate the ELBO without the need for stochastic sampling of the neural-network weights.

Adaptive Non-Rigid Point Set Registration Based on Variational Bayesian [PDF]
For the existence of outliers in non-rigid point set registration, a method based on Bayesian student's t mixture model(SMM) is proposed. Under the framework of variational Bayesian, the point set registration problem is converted to maximize the ...
