Some investigations into energy-based models


Monday, March 12th -- Tijmen Tieleman


Abstract:
 

A new result in the field of variational learning methods is described. Combined with previous work, this completes an algorithm that produces unbiased gradient estimates for learning with variational inference in a large class of models, including some unnormalized models. Depending on time availability, I might also describe a way to do early stopping for some intractable objective functions.
