• Abstract: The finite invert Beta-Liouville mixture model (IBLMM) has recently gained some attention due to its positive data modeling capability. Under the conventional variational inference (VI) framework, the analytically tractable solution to the optimization of the variational posterior distribution cannot be obtained, since the variational object function involves evaluation of intractable moments. With the recently proposed extended variational inference (EVI) framework, a new function is proposed to replace the original variational object function in order to avoid intractable moment computation, so that the analytically tractable solution of the IBLMM can be derived in an elegant way. The good performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by experiments with both synthesized data and a real-world application namely text categorization.

  Simulation-based inference enables learning the parameters of a model even when its likelihood cannot be computed in practice.
