Mean Field Initialization of the Annealed Importance Sampling Algorithm for an Efficient Evaluation of the Partition Function Using Restricted Boltzmann Machines

Probabilistic models in physics often require the evaluation of normalized Boltzmann factors, which in turn implies the computation of the partition function Z. Obtaining the exact value of Z, though, becomes a forbiddingly expensive task as the system size increases. A possible way to tackle this p...
