We introduce a novel inferential framework for marked point processes that enjoys both scalability and interpretability. The framework is based on variational inference and it aims to speed up inference for a flexible family of marked point processes where the joint distribution of times and marks can be specified in terms of the conditional distribution of times given the process filtration, and of the conditional distribution of marks given the process filtration and the current time. We assess the predictive ability of our proposed method over four real-world datasets where results show its competitive performance against other baselines. The attractiveness of our framework for the modelling of marked point processes is illustrated through a case study of association football data where scalability and interpretability are exploited for extracting useful informative patterns.
