| Abstract(in English) | Bayesian learning, widely used in many applied data-modeling problems, is often accomplished with approximation schemes because it requires intractable computation of the posterior distributions. In this study, we focus on the approximation method, variational Bayes, for latent variable models. The asymptotic form of the minimum of the variational free energy, the objective function of variational Bayes, is analyzed and related to the asymptotic theory of Bayesian learning. This analysis additionally implies a relationship between the generalization performance of the variational Bayes approach and the minimum variational free energy. |
