Non-conjugate methods¶
Lower bounding¶
- logistic regression
Conjugate exponential family interpretation¶
- Student-t
Tilted VB¶
It is also possible to extend VB inference to a wide range of non-conjugate models (see, e.g., [14][9]).
Other methods¶
In later chapters:
- black box variational inference
- inference or recognition model
- Riemannian conjugate learning
