Variational Inference: Simple Example (+ Python Demo)
Variational Bayesian Methods can be difficult to understand. In this video, we will look at the simple Exponential-Normal model for which the posterior is intractable. We will show why and then propose a surrogate and perform VI. Here are the notes: https://github.com/Ceyron/machine-lea...

Variational Inference is a powerful technique in Machine Learning that is used to find approximate posteriors for generative models. In particular, it is being used extensively for Variational Autoencoders.
