We present a novel sequence of intermediate distribu- tions for exponential families defined by averaging the moments of the initial and target distributions.
Abstract. Many powerful Monte Carlo techniques for estimating partition functions, such as an- nealed importance sampling (AIS), are based on sampling from ...

Jun 27, 2023 · Annealed Importance Sampling (AIS) is a popular algorithm used to estimates the intractable marginal likelihood of deep generative models.
Annealed Importance Sampling (AIS) [27, 18] is the gold standard for estimating partition functions or marginal likelihoods, corresponding to importance ...
