Building Blocks for Variational Bayesian Learning of Latent Variable Models
We introduce standardised building blocks designed to be used with variational Bayesian learning. The blocks include Gaussian variables, summation, multiplication, nonlinearity, a...

An alternative view of variational Bayes and asymptotic approximations of free energy
Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterio...
