On the Effect of Hyperparameter to Generalization Error in Variational Bayes Learning
Shinji Oyama, Sumio Watanabe (Tokyo Inst. of Tech.) NC2008-87
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In variational Bayes learning, the probability distribution of the hidden variable and parameter is made by the mean field approximation. In a mixture of exponential probability distributions such a normal mixture, the mean field approximation is applied to wide practical problems because it provides the fast recursive learning algorithm. It was theoretically clarified the phase transition structure of variational Bayes learning for hyperparameter. In this paper, we study the generalization errors of variational Bayes learning and experimentally show the following facts. (1) The behavior of the generalization error changes between the phase transition point. (2) At an ordinary point, the generalization error strongly depends on the condition that the true distribution is contained in the statistical model or not, whereas, at the critical point, the generalization error is not so depend on the condition.
