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 …

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 …

Variational Inference for Graph Convolutional Networks in the Absence of Graph Data and Adversarial Settings

We propose a joint probabilistic model with stochastic variational inference to improve the performance and robustness of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) in scenarios without …
