Variational inference is a technique for estimating Bayesian models that provides similar precision to MCMC at a greater speed, and is one of the main areas of current research in Bayesian computation. In this introductory talk, we take a look at the theory behind the variational approach and some of the most common methods (e.g. mean field, sto…
