Operator Splittings, Bregman Methods and Frame Shrinkage in Image Processing
We examine the underlying structure of popular algorithms for variational methods used in image processing. We focus here on operator splittings and Bregman methods based on a uniļ...

Natural Conjugate Gradient in Variational Inference
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

Variational methods for Reinforcement Learning
We consider reinforcement learning as solving a Markov decision process with unknown transition distribution. Based on interaction with the environment, an estimate of the transit...

Bayesian model search for mixture models based on optimizing variational bounds
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...

Rank based variation operators for genetic algorithms
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the ļ¬tness rank of a genotype or phenotype oļ¬€ers a robust alternative to the Sim...
