  1. Local Latent Space Bayesian Optimization over Structured Inputs

    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Bayesian optimization over the latent spaces of deep autoencoder models (DAEs) has recently emerged as a promising new approach for optimizing challenging black-box functions over structured, discrete, hard-to-enumerate search spaces (e.g., molecules). Here the DAE …

  2. On the Convergence of Black-Box Variational Inference

    2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    We provide the first convergence guarantee for full black-box variational inference (BBVI), also known as Monte Carlo variational inference. While preliminary investigations worked on simplified versions of BBVI (e.g., bounded domain, bounded support, only optimizing …
