2013-03-25 · Mean-Field Approximation. Variational inference approximates the Bayesian posterior density with a (simpler) density parameterized by some new parameters . The mean-field form of variational inference factors the approximating density by component of , as. Variational methods in statistical mechanics are very important since the provide a tool to formulate mean field theories which are valid for any temperature range and with order parameters of essentially arbitrary complexity.

•At each iteration we get an updated local variationalapproximation Mean-field refers to the fact that we assume all the latent variables to be independent. This the “standard” ADVI approach; see Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (2016) for more. We develop strategies for mean field variational Bayes approximate inference for Bayesian hierarchical models containing elaborate distributions. I am studying Variational Inference using Bishop's book: Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. At the moment, I am struggling to understand the Lower Bound derivation for the Mean-Field Variational inference at page 465, equation 10.6. Mean Field Variational Inference Mean field variational inference algorithms were originally explored in statistical physics. In these methods, we build an approximation of the UGM using a simpler UGM where marginals are easy to compute, but we try to optimize the parameters of the simpler UGM to minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence from the full UGM. The mean field methods, which entail approximating intractable probability distributions variationally with distributions from a tractable family, enjoy high efficiency, guaranteed convergence, and provide lower bounds on the true likelihood.

(2017) for a recent comprehensive review. Despite the popularity of the mean field method there exist remarkably little fundamental theoretical variational problems relevant for MFG are described via Eulerian and Lagrangian languages, and the connection with equilibria is explained by means of convex duality and of optimality conditions. The convex structure of the problem also allows for e cient numerical treatment, based on Augmented Mean Field Solution of Ising Model Now that we understand the variational principle and the non-interacting Ising Model, we're ready to accomplish our next task. We want to understand the general d-dimensional Ising Model with spin-spin interactions by applying the non-interacting Ising Model as a variational ansatz. Mean-field refers to the fact that we assume all the latent variables to be independent.
