Variational Inference for Item Response Models Estimation

Question

I should work on a project about Variational Inference for Item Response Models Estimation.

This is my university project but I don´t find relevant information around this topic so I would be very grateful for any book you recomend me to review theory and aplications.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This is in no way exhaustive, but it's a way to get started. (how I taught VI to myself)

The tutorial on VI in NIPS 2016

Their accompany review paper which is really hand holding.
