We present a series of closed-form maximum entropy upper bounds for the differential entropy of a continuous univariate random variable and study the properties of that series. We then show how to use those generic bounds for upper bounding…
One of the core problems in variational inference is a choice of approximate posterior distribution. It is crucial to trade-off between efficient inference with simple families as mean-field models and accuracy of inference. We propose a…
