Kernel Stein Discrepancy thinning: a theoretical perspective of pathologies and a practical fix with regularization Clément Bénard 1 Brian Staber 1 Sébastien Da Veiga 2 1

Neural Information Processing Systems

Stein thinning is a promising algorithm proposed by Riabiz et al. [2022] for post-processing outputs of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The main principle is to greedily minimize the kernelized Stein discrepancy (KSD), which only requires the gradient of the log-target distribution, and is thus well-suited for Bayesian inference.






Structured Prediction with Stronger Consistency Guarantees

Neural Information Processing Systems

In most applications, the output labels of learning problems have some structure that is crucial to consider. This includes natural language processing applications, where the output may be a sentence, a sequence of parts-of-speech tags, a parse tree, or a dependency graph.
