Sorry I realise the language was a little vague. I wanted to show how you can use Edward for sampling (where the Rasch model would be great) but also to...

Hi I wondered if there was any update to this? I think there's probably a fair bit of demand for this feature and if help is required, I'd like to...

Hi Daniel, thanks for the response and for sharing the code. If you trained for 20k iterations, you may want to make a correction to Appendix C of your paper...

ok thanks! I'll run it for longer and report back. Thanks for the plan to add a new notebook as well. What should I be looking for in the intermediate...

Ok thanks for taking a look. In line 81, we're just looking to initialise our MCMC chain. Whilst its definitely true that initialising on samples from the true target distribution...

@saforem2 Did you use temperature annealing to get this to work and if so what schedule did you use? Are the samples you plot a single chain with the temperature...

@daniellevy Since both @saforem2 and I have failed to replicate the result from the paper could you please lend us a hand in getting this to work? Thanks, Raza

That's great thanks! I'll rerun the experiments and report back

@saforem2 One quick question. Looking at your pictures it would seem that the variance of your gaussians is ~1 but your earlier message suggested you were using a variance of...

I've now tried annealing from a higher temperature (10) for 20000 iterations and I still don't see mixing between the modes of two isotropic gaussians with means (-4,0) and (4,...
