Dirichlet process mixture model for multivariate Bernoulli mixture

1

Hi, I have been trying to implement Dirichlet process mixture model for data that follow a mixture of multivariate Bernoulli. I used Independent and Mixture to construct multivariate Bernoulli and mixture of multivariate Bernoulli respectively. Also, I used KLqp for inference.

The problem is that I always get nans after a few iterations. The version of my tensorflow is ‘1.7.0’, the version of my Edward is ‘1.3.5’. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
