Divergence Minimization

Divergence Minimization is a variational inference technique that belongs to the class of optimization approaches used to approximate intractable probability distributions, distinguished by its objective of reducing the discrepancy—measured by a divergence metric such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence—between a tractable variational distribution and the true posterior distribution.
