Description

See https://forum.pyro.ai/t/variational-inference-for-dirichlet-process-clustering/98 for extended discussion .

It would be nice to make this work with data subsampling.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the forum discussion linked in the issue and existing Pyro tutorials to understand the desired implementation. Then create a tutorial notebook demonstrating variational inference for Dirichlet process mixture models with data subsampling.
