Approximate Inference and Deep Generative Models
Advances in deep generative models are at the forefront of deep learning research because of the promise they offer for allowing data-efficient learning, and for model-based reinforcement learning. In this talk I’ll review a few standard methods for approximate inference and introduce modern approximations which allow for efficient large-scale training of a wide variety of generative models. Finally, I’ll demonstrate several important application of these models to density estimation, missing data imputation, data compression and planning.
