Split variational inference
We propose a deterministic method to evaluate the integral of a positive function based on soft-binning functions that smoothly cut the integral into smaller integrals that are ea...

Variational Graph Embedding for Globally and Locally Consistent Feature Extraction
Existing feature extraction methods explore either global statistical or local geometric information underlying the data. In this paper, we propose a general framework to learn fea...
