Spatiotemporal Besov Priors for Bayesian Inverse Problems

no code implementations28 Jun 2023 Shiwei Lan, Mirjeta Pasha, Shuyi Li, Weining Shen

Fast development in science and technology has driven the need for proper statistical tools to capture special data features such as abrupt changes or sharp contrast.

Bayesian Learning via Q-Exponential Process

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Shuyi Li, Michael O'Connor, Shiwei Lan

In this work, we generalize the $q$-exponential distribution (with density proportional to) $\exp{(- \frac{1}{2}|u|^q)}$ to a stochastic process named $Q$-exponential (Q-EP) process that corresponds to the $L_q$ regularization of functions.

Sampling Constrained Continuous Probability Distributions: A Review

no code implementations26 Sep 2022 Shiwei Lan, Lulu Kang

The problem of sampling constrained continuous distributions has frequently appeared in many machine/statistical learning models.

Learning Temporal Evolution of Spatial Dependence with Generalized Spatiotemporal Gaussian Process Models

1 code implementation13 Jan 2019 Shiwei Lan

For this purpose, we propose a novel Bayesian nonparametric method based on non-stationary spatiotemporal Gaussian process (STGP).

Earth System Modeling 2.0: A Blueprint for Models That Learn From Observations and Targeted High-Resolution Simulations

no code implementations31 Aug 2017 Tapio Schneider, Shiwei Lan, Andrew Stuart, João Teixeira

Climate projections continue to be marred by large uncertainties, which originate in processes that need to be parameterized, such as clouds, convection, and ecosystems.

Sampling constrained probability distributions using Spherical Augmentation

no code implementations19 Jun 2015 Shiwei Lan, Babak Shahbaba

In this paper, we propose a novel augmentation technique that handles a wide range of constraints by mapping the constrained domain to a sphere in the augmented space.

Split Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

no code implementations29 Jun 2011 Babak Shahbaba, Shiwei Lan, Wesley O. Johnson, Radford M. Neal

With the splitting technique, only the slowly-varying part of the energy needs to be handled numerically, and this can be done with a larger stepsize (and hence fewer steps) than would be necessary with a direct simulation of the dynamics.
