Local convexity of the TAP free energy and AMP convergence for Z2-synchronization
Z₂ 同步中 TAP 自由能的局部凸性与 AMP 收敛
We study mean-field variational Bayesian inference using the TAP approach, for Z2-synchronization as a prototypical example of a high-dimensional Bayesian model. We show that for any signal strength λ>1 (the weak-recovery threshold), there exists a unique local minimizer of the TAP free energy functional near the mean of the Bayes posterior law. Furthermore, the TAP free energy in a local neighborhood of this minimizer is strongly convex. Consequently, a…
