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.

Variational Inference

Variational Inference (VI) turns Bayesian inference into an optimization problem by choosing a simple family q(z) to approximate an intractable posterior p(z|x).
