Scalable Nonparametric Sampling from Multimodal Posteriors with the Posterior Bootstrap

ICML 2019oral

Increasingly complex datasets pose a number of challenges for Bayesian inference. Conventional posterior sampling based on Markov chain Monte Carlo can be too computationally intensive, is serial in nature and mixes poorly between posterior modes. Furthermore, all models are misspecified, which brin…

Nonparametric learning from Bayesian models with randomized objective functions

NeurIPS 2018poster

Bayesian learning is built on an assumption that the model space contains a true reflection of the data generating mechanism. This assumption is problematic, particularly in complex data environments. Here we present a Bayesian nonparametric approach to learning that makes use of statistical models,…
