Motivation and Context
The existing Bayes-by-backprop trainer in UQpy is tightly coupled to its custom mean-field implementation, which makes it hard to experiment SVI which allows us to handle aleatoric uncertainty. This PR introduces a SVI trainer that accepts Bayesian neural networks built with UQpy can be used to update inherent randomness.
