There is clearly
no need to use the optimal
|
|
|
distribution
over hidden configurations.
|
|
|
|
– |
We
can use any distribution that is convenient
|
|
|
so
long as:
|
|
|
|
• |
we
always update the distribution in a way that
|
|
|
improves
F
|
|
|
|
• |
We
change the parameters to improve F given the
|
|
|
current
distribution.
|
|
|

This is very
liberating. It allows us to justify all
|
|
|
sorts of weird
algorithms.
