Variational Inference - Explained

In this video, we break down variational inference — a powerful technique in machine learning and statistics — using clear intuition and step-by-step math. Learn how it turns intractable integrals into solvable optimization problems using concepts like the KL divergence and the ELBO. *Related Videos* ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Bayesian Optimization: https://youtu.be/Kq6_kzlwSUQ Hyperparameters Tuning: Grid Search vs Random Search: https://youtu.be/G-fXV-o9QV8 The Kernel Trick: https://youtu.be/N_RQj4OL1mg Cross-Entropy - Explained: https://youtu.be/Fv98vtitmiA Dropout - Explained: https://youtu.be/FDF_Q3_98GQ Overfitting vs Underfitting: https://youtu.be/B9rhzg6_LLw Why Models Overfit and Underfit - The Bias Variance Trade-off: https://youtu.be/5mbX6ITznHk Least Squares vs Maximum Likelihood: https://youtu.be/WCP98USBZ0w XGBoost Explained in Under 3 Minutes: https://youtu.be/33fGfuleXw0 *Contents* ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - The problem 02:28 - ELBO derivation 02:28 - Crucial insight 04:40 - Example 05:14 - Outro *Follow Me* ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🐦 Twitter: @datamlistic https://twitter.com/datamlistic 📸 Instagram: @datamlistic https://www.instagram.com/datamlistic 📱 TikTok: @datamlistic https://www.tiktok.com/@datamlistic 👔 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/datamlistic *Channel Support* ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The best way to support the channel is to share the content. ;) If you'd like to also support the channel financially, donating the price of a coffee is always warmly welcomed!
