| | This blog post explores the interplay between the Data Processing Inequality (DPI), a cornerstone concept in information theory, and Function-Space Variational Inference (FSVI) within the context of Bayesian deep learning. The DPI governs the transformation and flow of information through stochastic processes, and its unique connection to FSVI is employed to highlight FSVI's focus on Bayesian predictive posteriors over parameter space. The post examines various forms of the DPI, including the KL divergence based DPI, and provides intuitive examples and detailed proofs. It also explores the equality case of the DPI to gain a deeper understanding. The connection between DPI and FSVI is then established, showing how FSVI can measure a predictive divergence inde...

| | [AI summary] The text discusses the representation of functions as vectors and their applications in various domains such as signal processing, geometry, and physics. It explains how functions can be treated as vectors in a vector space, leading to the concept of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, which are crucial for understanding and manipulating signals and geometries. The text also covers different types of Laplacians, including the standard Laplacian, higher-dimensional Laplacians, and the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and their applications in fields like image compression, computer graphics, and quantum mechanics. The discussion includes spherical harmonics, which are used in representing functions on spheres, and their applications in game engines and glo...

| | The Langevin algorithm is a simple and powerful method to sample from a probability distribution. It's a key ingredient of some machine learning methods such as diffusion models and differentially private learning. In this post, I'll derive a simple convergence analysis of this method in the special case when the ...
