1. Variational inference and learning We derive the variational inference updates in this sec-tion. We use these updates as an E-step in a variational EM framework that is guaranteed to increase a lower bound on the data likelihood. The variational inference updates for our Q-distributions are given below. Q∗(smj) ∝∑ um
