Empirical Gaussian Processes
We study Empirical GPs, a principled framework for constructing flexible, data-driven Gaussian process priors. By estimating mean and covariance directly from a corpus of …

Probabilistic Machine Learning in the Age of Deep Learning: New Perspectives for Gaussian Processes, Bayesian Optimization and Beyond (PhD Thesis)
We explore the intersection of deep learning and probabilistic machine learning, addressing limitations of Gaussian processes in comparison to neural networks and proposing …
Spherical Inducing Features for Orthogonally-Decoupled Gaussian Processes
We introduce spherical inter-domain inducing features that yield more flexible, data-dependent basis functions for orthogonally-decoupled GP approximations, narrowing the …
Efficient Cholesky decomposition of low-rank updates
We give a short and practical guide to efficiently computing the Cholesky decomposition of matrices perturbed by low-rank updates.
Batch Bayesian Optimisation via Density-ratio Estimation with Guarantees
We extend BORE to the batch setting and establish theoretical convergence guarantees for parallel Bayesian optimization.
