Query: Variational Cumulant Expansions for Intractable Distributions   Intractable distributions present a common difficulty in inference within the
probabilistic knowledge representation framework and variational methods have
recently been popular in providing an approximate solution. In this article, we
describe a perturbational approach in the form of a cumulant expansion which,
to lowest order, recovers the standard Kullback-Leibler variational bound.
Higher-order terms describe corrections on the variational approach without
incurring much further computational cost. The relationship to other
perturbational approaches such as TAP is also elucidated. We demonstrate the
method on a particular class of undirected graphical models, Boltzmann
machines, for which our simulation results confirm improved accuracy and
enhanced stability during learning.
