<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Stochastic variational inference is an extension of [[Variational Inference|variational inference]] designed for massive datasets. Where classical variational inference requires a full pass through the data at each optimization step, stochastic variational inference subsamples mini-batches and uses noisy gradients. The result is an algorithm whose per-iteration cost is independent of dataset size, making Bayesian inference feasible at the scale of modern machine learning.<br />
<br />
The method was developed by Hoffman et al. (2013) and has become the standard computational framework for Bayesian deep learning, probabilistic programming, and latent variable modeling.<br />
