First appearance of ELBO
I wondered which publication introduced this idea. The first appearance I can think of is in the Neal & Hinton 1998 paper (which is actually from 1993, see the Hinton & Zemel paper). Maybe someone knows of an earlier mention of this concept? Apoptheosis (talk) 09:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * i don't know where the concept first appeared. i do, however, know where the particular name "ELBO" first appeared, because i made it up. Jonmcauliffe (talk) 07:00, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
