Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| use Hellinger-distance boosting (UBVI) instead of KL-based boosting (BVI) | boosting variational inference · Cauchy and banana distributions | forward KL divergence | Helped |
| use UBVI instead of BVI+ (ad-hoc stabilized KL boosting) | boosting variational inference · Bayesian logistic regression with t2 prior (synthetic, chemical, phishing) | energy distance to NUTS posterior | Helped |
| add entropy regularization / stabilization (BVI+) to KL boosting (ablation) | BVI · Cauchy distribution | forward KL divergence | Mixed |
