Kernel Identification Through Transformers

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Fergus Simpson, Ian Davies, Vidhi Lalchand, Alessandro Vullo, Nicolas Durrande, Carl Rasmussen

Kernel selection plays a central role in determining the performance of Gaussian Process (GP) models, as the chosen kernel determines both the inductive biases and prior support of functions under the GP prior.

Deep Neural Networks as Point Estimates for Deep Gaussian Processes

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Vincent Dutordoir, James Hensman, Mark van der Wilk, Carl Henrik Ek, Zoubin Ghahramani, Nicolas Durrande

This results in models that can either be seen as neural networks with improved uncertainty prediction or deep Gaussian processes with increased prediction accuracy.

The Minecraft Kernel: Modelling correlated Gaussian Processes in the Fourier domain

no code implementations11 Mar 2021 Fergus Simpson, Alexis Boukouvalas, Vaclav Cadek, Elvijs Sarkans, Nicolas Durrande

In the univariate setting, using the kernel spectral representation is an appealing approach for generating stationary covariance functions.

A Tutorial on Sparse Gaussian Processes and Variational Inference

no code implementations27 Dec 2020 Felix Leibfried, Vincent Dutordoir, ST John, Nicolas Durrande

In this context, a convenient choice for approximate inference is variational inference (VI), where the problem of Bayesian inference is cast as an optimization problem -- namely, to maximize a lower bound of the log marginal likelihood.

Matérn Gaussian Processes on Graphs

no code implementations29 Oct 2020 Viacheslav Borovitskiy, Iskander Azangulov, Alexander Terenin, Peter Mostowsky, Marc Peter Deisenroth, Nicolas Durrande

Gaussian processes are a versatile framework for learning unknown functions in a manner that permits one to utilize prior information about their properties.

Sparse Gaussian Processes with Spherical Harmonic Features

no code implementations ICML 2020 Vincent Dutordoir, Nicolas Durrande, James Hensman

We introduce a new class of inter-domain variational Gaussian processes (GP) where data is mapped onto the unit hypersphere in order to use spherical harmonic representations.

Doubly Sparse Variational Gaussian Processes

no code implementations15 Jan 2020 Vincent Adam, Stefanos Eleftheriadis, Nicolas Durrande, Artem Artemev, James Hensman

The use of Gaussian process models is typically limited to datasets with a few tens of thousands of observations due to their complexity and memory footprint.

Bayesian Quantile and Expectile Optimisation

no code implementations12 Jan 2020 Victor Picheny, Henry Moss, Léonard Torossian, Nicolas Durrande

In this paper, we propose new variational models for Bayesian quantile and expectile regression that are well-suited for heteroscedastic noise settings.

Gaussian Process Modulated Cox Processes under Linear Inequality Constraints

no code implementations28 Feb 2019 Andrés F. López-Lopera, ST John, Nicolas Durrande

We introduce a novel finite approximation of GP-modulated Cox processes where positiveness conditions can be imposed directly on the GP, with no restrictions on the covariance function.

Banded Matrix Operators for Gaussian Markov Models in the Automatic Differentiation Era

no code implementations26 Feb 2019 Nicolas Durrande, Vincent Adam, Lucas Bordeaux, Stefanos Eleftheriadis, James Hensman

Banded matrices can be used as precision matrices in several models including linear state-space models, some Gaussian processes, and Gaussian Markov random fields.

no code implementations15 Jan 2019 Andrés F. López-Lopera, François Bachoc, Nicolas Durrande, Jérémy Rohmer, Déborah Idier, Olivier Roustant

Finally, on 2D and 5D coastal flooding applications, we show that more flexible and realistic GP implementations can be obtained by considering noise effects and by enforcing the (linear) inequality constraints.

Scalable GAM using sparse variational Gaussian processes

no code implementations28 Dec 2018 Vincent Adam, Nicolas Durrande, ST John

Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a widely used class of models of interest to statisticians as they provide a flexible way to design interpretable models of data beyond linear models.

Physically-Inspired Gaussian Process Models for Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Drosophila

1 code implementation29 Aug 2018 Andrés F. López-Lopera, Nicolas Durrande, Mauricio A. Alvarez

Since the post-transcriptional regulation of Drosophila depends on spatiotemporal interactions between mRNAs and gap proteins, proper physically-inspired stochastic models are required to study the link between both quantities.

Finite-dimensional Gaussian approximation with linear inequality constraints

1 code implementation20 Oct 2017 Andrés F. López-Lopera, François Bachoc, Nicolas Durrande, Olivier Roustant

Introducing inequality constraints in Gaussian process (GP) models can lead to more realistic uncertainties in learning a great variety of real-world problems.

This work brings together two powerful concepts in Gaussian processes: the variational approach to sparse approximation and the spectral representation of Gaussian processes.

Nested Kriging predictions for datasets with large number of observations

This work falls within the context of predicting the value of a real function at some input locations given a limited number of observations of this function.

An analytic comparison of regularization methods for Gaussian Processes

A measure for data-model discrepancy is proposed which serves for choosing a regularization technique. In the second part of the paper, a distribution-wise GP is introduced that interpolates Gaussian distributions instead of data points.

We study pathwise invariances of centred random fields that can be controlled through the covariance.
