Gibbs sampling the posterior of neural networks

Giovanni Piccioli, Lenka Zdeborová, Emanuele Troiani

In this paper, we study sampling from a posterior derived from a neural network. We propose a new probabilistic model consisting of adding noise at every pre- and post-activation in the network, arguing that the resulting posterior can be sampled using an ...
