Variational Inference: A Review for Statisticians
TL;DR: For instance, mean-field variational inference as discussed by the authors approximates probability densities through optimization, which is used in many applications and tends to be faster than classical methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the local resolution of cryo-EM density maps.
TL;DR: By evaluating the local resolution of single-particle reconstructions and subtomogram averages for four example data sets, this work reports variable resolution across a 4- to 40-Å range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variational Inference: A Review for Statisticians
TL;DR: Variational inference (VI), a method from machine learning that approximates probability densities through optimization, is reviewed and a variant that uses stochastic optimization to scale up to massive data is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic differentiation variational inference
TL;DR: This article proposed an automatic differentiation variational inference (ADVI) method for probabilistic models. But the method requires the model and the data to be shared, which makes it difficult to efficiently cycle through the steps of fitting complex models to large data.

Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference
TL;DR: In this article, an automatic differentiation variational inference (ADVI) algorithm is proposed to automatically derive an efficient variational algorithm, freeing the scientist to refine and explore many models.
