Title:Variational Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design


		
This paper provides a novel, sound, and seemingly practical method for Bayesian optimal experimental design. The basic idea is to create upper and lower bounds on the information gain analogously to existing ideas to upper and lower-bound the marginal likelihood in traditional VI. This is an important problem, and the reviewers were unanimous that the ideas had merit.
