Researchers have developed a new approach to optimize Black-Box Variational Inference (BBVI) by addressing the inherent unbounded variance in its stochastic gradients. Their method, detailed in a new paper, focuses on the elliptic location-scale family of distributions and offers theoretical guarantees for convergence under specific conditions. The proposed techniques involve dynamic batching and preconditioning for Minibatch Projected SGD, which have been shown to be effective in complex inference tasks. AI
