Thanks @botev . This is good since it just keeps existing code behaviors unchanged. I've thought about this sticking-landing estimator but was focusing on how to do it in the variational objective which requires change of the api. Do you have interest in submitting a PR? We should appreciate it.

Sure, I'll be happy to make a PR.
Not use what kind of tests would be needed though?
from zhusuan.
A simple test that checks the gradient actually doesn't go through the log_p term in that way would be enough (e.g., log_p has no gradient w.r.t. parameters if givens are not samples). And if I'm right you only need to implement this for distributions that has a is_reparameterized
argument (Normal
, Concrete
, etc.).
from zhusuan.
Ok and lastly do you want to have use_path_derivative
as an argument to log_prob
and _log_prob
, to be as an attribute in the general Distribution
class (like is_reparametrized
) or attribute in the concrete classes. I think it should be an attribute to log_prob
and _log_prob
in the abstract Distribution
class.
Also, could you point me out to how to compare the numeric results in your test suites? E.g. to verify it I will explicitly calculate the gradients and want to assert that they are all close to the correct ones.
from zhusuan.
I feel it's good to have it as an attribute to the Distribution
class but you may need to actually do the stop_gradient
in each concrete class because their parameters vary, just like how the is_reparameterized
argument is dealt with.
