A paper by @smithhenryd, @brianltrippe and @scottlinderman, Helmholtz-SDE studies analytic approximations for latent SDEs. The key result: simulation-free variational inference for latent SDEs can match the performance of simulation-based VI at a fraction of the runtime, offering a major speedup for such models.
