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.

Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO)

The Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) is a tractable lower bound on the log evidence log p(x) used to perform approximate Bayesian inference.

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).

Variational Autoencoders (VAE) Theory

A Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a probabilistic autoencoder that learns to generate data by inferring hidden causes (latent variables) and decoding them back to observations.

Information Bottleneck in Deep Learning

The Information Bottleneck (IB) principle formalizes learning compact representations T that keep only the information about X that is useful for predicting Y.

Reparameterization Trick

The reparameterization trick rewrites a random variable as a deterministic function of noise that does not depend on the parameters, such as z = ฮผ + ฯƒ ยท ฮต with ฮต ~ N(0, 1).

Information Bottleneck

The Information Bottleneck (IB) principle formalizes the tradeoff between compressing an input X and preserving information about a target Y using the objective min_{p(t|x)} I(X;T) - \beta I(T;Y).

Variational Inference Theory

Variational Inference (VI) replaces an intractable posterior with a simpler distribution and optimizes it by minimizing KL divergence, which is equivalent to maximizing the ELBO.

Information Bottleneck Theory

Information Bottleneck (IB) studies how to compress an input X into a representation Z that still preserves what is needed to predict Y.
