Variational methods for the Dirichlet process
Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...

Relative Performance Guarantees for Approximate Inference in Latent Dirichlet Allocation
Hierarchical probabilistic modeling of discrete data has emerged as a powerful tool for text analysis. Posterior inference in such models is intractable, and practitioners rely on...
