Extended Variational Message Passing for Automated Approximate Bayesian Inference

Semih Akbayrak et al.

Summary: VMP provides an automated and efficient algorithmic framework for approximating Bayesian inference. Executing VMP in complex models relies on the ability to compute the expectations of hidden variable statistics. The Extended VMP approach extends the applicability of VMP through importance sampling and Laplace approximation.

Variational Message Passing and Local Constraint Manipulation in Factor Graphs

Ismail Senoz et al.

Summary: Accurate evaluation of Bayesian model evidence is a fundamental issue in model development, with variational free energy providing an alternative. Manipluating constraints in the search space for the posterior distribution can improve tractability but may compromise accuracy. Development of new message passing-based inference algorithms could potentially enhance evidence estimation accuracy in factor graphs.
