Hierarchical data is ubiquitous in the empirical sciences and is most commonly analyzed with generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs). Bayesian inference for GLMMs yields calibrated uncertainty...
arXiv:2410. 14843v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vanilla variational inference finds an optimal approximation to the Bayesian posterior distribution, but even the exact Bayesian posterior is often not meaningful under model misspecification.

arXiv:2608. 05243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Factorized generative models commonly regularize a latent style variable z_s by matching its marginal distribution to a fixed Gaussian prior and interpret this as evidence that the style representation is independent of class information.

Simulation-based inference is challenging when many heterogeneous observations must be composed, hierarchical latent structure must be preserved, and the simulator is misspecified relative to observed...

The paper introduces SME-BETEL, a semiparametric Bayesian method that merges score matching estimating equations with Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood to perform inference on models with intractable normalizing constants. SME-BETEL avoids evaluating these constants and eliminates the need for learning-rate calibration, while providing consistency, asymptotic normality, and a Bernstein‑von Mises theorem that guarantees asymptotically calibrated credible sets even under model misspecification. The authors extend the framework to mixed‑domain data, enabling robust inference for doubly‑intractable models such as spatial preferential sampling, and demonstrate its effectiveness through simulations and an ozone‑monitoring application.

arXiv:2608.29335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent generative models typically follow a two-stage pipeline, training a variational autoencoder for reconstruction and then a generative model on th...
