LINFA: a Python library for variational inference with normalizing flow and annealing
Yu Wang, Emma R. Cobian, Jubilee Lee, Fang Liu, Jonathan D. Hauenstein, Daniele E. Schiavazzi
Variational inference is an increasingly popular method in statistics and machine learning for approximating probability distributions. We developed LINFA (Library for Inference with Normalizing Flow and Annealing), a Python library for variational inference to accommodate computationally expensive models and difficult-to-sample distributions with dependent parameters. We discuss the theoretical background, capabilities, and performance of LINFA in various benchmarks. LINFA is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/desResLab/LINFA.
