    Deterministic Latent Variable Models and Their Pitfalls
    Jan
    We derive a number of well known deterministic latent variable models such as PCA, ICA, EPCA, NMF and PLSA as variationalEM approximations with point posteriors. We show that the often practiced heuristic of “folding-in” can lead to overly optimistic estimates of the test-set log-likelihood and we verify this result experimentally. We trace this problem back to an infinitely negative entropy term that is ignored in the variational approximation.
This is a community-created genome.
