Variational Dropout & Bayesian Deep Learning

Dropout can be interpreted as variational inference in a Bayesian neural network, where applying random masks approximates sampling from a posterior over weights.

Normalizing Flow Variational Inference

Normalizing-flow variational inference enriches the variational family by transforming a simple base distribution through a sequence of invertible, differentiable mappings.
