Discussion Lead:
Bob Carpenter [CCM]
Papers:
Duvenaud, Maclurin, and Adams. 2016. Early stopping as variational inference.
http://proceedings.mlr.press/v51/duvenaud16.pdf
Mandt, Hoffman, and Blei. 2017. Stochastic Gradient Descent as Approximate Bayesian Inference.
https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume18/17-214/17-214.pdf
These papers both present approaches to variational inference based on optimization algorithms, so I thought we could talk about both of them together.
