Learning Bounds for a Generalized Family of Bayesian Posterior Distributions
In this paper we obtain convergence bounds for the concentration of Bayesian posterior distributions (around the true distribution) using a novel method that simplifies and enhan...

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...

Bayesian Inference for Sparse Generalized Linear Models
We present a framework for efficient, accurate approximate Bayesian inference in generalized linear models (GLMs), based on the expectation propagation (EP) technique. The paramete...

Bayesian Learning in Undirected Graphical Models: Approximate MCMC Algorithms
Bayesian learning in undirected graphical models--computing posterior distributions over parameters and predictive quantities-is exceptionally difficult. We conjecture that for ge...

Suboptimal Behavior of Bayes and MDL in Classification Under Misspecification
We show that forms of Bayesian and MDL inference that are often applied to classification problems can be inconsistent. This means that there exists a learning problem such that fo...
