[09x12] Bayesian Variational Inference (VI) using RxInfer.jl

Bayesian Variational Inference (VI) is an efficient alternative to Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for approximating the posterior distribution. VI comes from the world of machine learning, so it's well suited for scenarios with a lot of observations being generated by complex distributions. In this tutorial, learn how to use the RxInfer.jl package to take advantage of their implementation of VI. 00:00 Intro 00:43 Variational Inference 03:05 Set-up 05:18 Observations 08:31 Model 11:47 Constraints 13:52 Inference 20:36 Visualization 24:54 Outro ############################## Links for this tutorial ############################## Code for this tutorial (GitHub) github.com/julia4ta/tutorials/tree/master/Series%2… doggo dot jl.
