SQUIDS Seminar: Sampling as Bandits: Evaluation-Efficient Design for Black-Box Densities
14:00 - 15:00 21 January 2026
Speaker: Takuo Matsubara (University of Edinburgh) Abstract: We introduce Bandit Importance Sampling (BIS), a novel class of importance sampling methods designed for scenarios where the target density is computationally expensive to evaluate. In contrast to adaptive importance sampling, which optimises...
