Abstract: Intractable distributions are a common difficulty in the probabilistic representation of knowledge and variational methods have recently been popular in providing an approximate solution. In this article, we describe a perturbational approach in the form of a cumulant expansion which, to lowest order, recovers the standard Kullback-Leibler variational bound. Higher order terms describe corrections on the variational approach without incurring much further computational cost. The relationship to ... (Update)
