A new wavelet-based variational family with copula dependence structures
基于小波与Copula依赖结构的变分推断族
Variational inference (VI) has become a widely used approach for scalable Bayesian inference, but its performance strongly depends on the flexibility of the chosen variational family. In this work, we propose a novel variational family that combines wavelet-based representations for marginal posterior densities with copula functions to model dependence structures. The marginal distributions are constructed using coefficients from the discrete wavelet transform, providing a…
