I'm working on variational inference methods, mainly in the context of BNNs. Using the reverse (exclusive) KL as the variational objective is the common approach, though lately I stumbled upon some interesting works that use the forward (inclusive) KL as an objective instead, e.g \[1\]\[2\]\[3\]. Also in the context of VI for GPs both divergence measures have been used, see e.g \[4\].
While I'm familiar with the well-known difference between the objectives that the reverse KL is 'mode-seeking' …
