Bayesian Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

no code implementations22 Apr 2021 Junyang Wang, Jon Cockayne, Oksana Chkrebtii, T. J. Sullivan, Chris. J. Oates

The numerical solution of differential equations can be formulated as an inference problem to which formal statistical approaches can be applied.

A probabilistic Taylor expansion with Gaussian processes

no code implementations1 Feb 2021 Toni Karvonen, Jon Cockayne, Filip Tronarp, Simo Särkkä

We study a class of Gaussian processes for which the posterior mean, for a particular choice of data, replicates a truncated Taylor expansion of any order.

Probabilistic Iterative Methods for Linear Systems

no code implementations23 Dec 2020 Jon Cockayne, Ilse C. F. Ipsen, Chris J. Oates, Tim W. Reid

This paper presents a probabilistic perspective on iterative methods for approximating the solution $\mathbf{x}_* \in \mathbb{R}^d$ of a nonsingular linear system $\mathbf{A} \mathbf{x}_* = \mathbf{b}$.

Testing whether a Learning Procedure is Calibrated

no code implementations23 Dec 2020 Jon Cockayne, Matthew M. Graham, Chris J. Oates, T. J. Sullivan

A learning procedure takes as input a dataset and performs inference for the parameters $\theta$ of a model that is assumed to have given rise to the dataset.

Probabilistic Gradients for Fast Calibration of Differential Equation Models

no code implementations3 Sep 2020 Jon Cockayne, Andrew B. Duncan

Calibration of large-scale differential equation models to observational or experimental data is a widespread challenge throughout applied sciences and engineering.

Optimal Thinning of MCMC Output

3 code implementations pproximateinference AABI Symposium 2021 Marina Riabiz, Wilson Chen, Jon Cockayne, Pawel Swietach, Steven A. Niederer, Lester Mackey, Chris. J. Oates

The use of heuristics to assess the convergence and compress the output of Markov chain Monte Carlo can be sub-optimal in terms of the empirical approximations that are produced.

A Bayesian Conjugate Gradient Method

Bayesian Probabilistic Numerical Methods in Time-Dependent State Estimation for Industrial Hydrocyclone Equipment

1 code implementation19 Jul 2017 Chris. J. Oates, Jon Cockayne, Robert G. Aykroyd, Mark Girolami

The use of high-power industrial equipment, such as large-scale mixing equipment or a hydrocyclone for separation of particles in liquid suspension, demands careful monitoring to ensure correct operation.

On the Sampling Problem for Kernel Quadrature

no code implementations ICML 2017 Francois-Xavier Briol, Chris. J. Oates, Jon Cockayne, Wilson Ye Chen, Mark Girolami

The standard Kernel Quadrature method for numerical integration with random point sets (also called Bayesian Monte Carlo) is known to converge in root mean square error at a rate determined by the ratio $s/d$, where $s$ and $d$ encode the smoothness and dimension of the integrand.
