🚨 New paper: “Towards Adaptive Self-Normalized IS”, @ IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop. TLDR; To estimate µ = E_p[f(θ)] with SNIS, instead of doing MCMC on p(θ) or learning a parametric q(θ), we try MCMC directly on p(θ)| f(θ)-µ | (variance-minimizing proposal). arxiv.org/abs/2505.00372

Towards Adaptive Self-Normalized Importance Samplers

The self-normalized importance sampling (SNIS) estimator is a Monte Carlo estimator widely used to approximate expectations in statistical signal processing and machine learning. The efficiency of S...

Are you interested in more scalable reasoning under uncertainty and attending NeurIPS? Then pass by our poster #3708 later today at 4.30pm! 🕟 We use recursive integer arithmetic to express combinatorial problems and add uncertainty. Inference can be massively accelerated with tensors and the FFT. 🚀
