Cites background from "Stochastic variational inference"
.... An advantage of wake-sleep is that it also applies to models with discrete latent variables. Wake-Sleep has the same computational complexity as AEVB per datapoint. Stochastic variational inference [HBWP13] has recently received increasing interest. Recently, [BJP12] introduced a control variate schemes to reduce the high variance of the na¨ıve gradient estimator discussed in section 2.1, and applied to...

Cites methods from "Stochastic variational inference"
...Recent advances in variational inference introduced new techniques into the field such as sampling-based variational inference and stochastic variational inference (Blei et al., 2012; Kingma & Welling, 2013; Rezende et al., 2014; Titsias & LázaroGredilla, 2014; Hoffman et al., 2013)....

...In MCMC sampling, we construct a Markov chain over the hidden variables whose stationary distribution is the posterior of interest (Metropolis et al., 1953; Hastings, 1970; Geman and Geman, 1984; Gelfand and Smith, 1990; Robert and Casella, 2004)....
