An Empirical Analysis of the Advantages of Finite- v.s. Infinite-Width Bayesian Neural Networks

Jiayu Yao, Yaniv Yacoby, Beau Coker +2

Comparing Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) with different widths is challenging because, as the width increases, multiple model properties change simultaneously, and, inference in t…

Towards a Unified Framework for Uncertainty-aware Nonlinear Variable Selection with Theoretical Guarantees

Wenying Deng, Beau Coker, Rajarshi Mukherjee +2

We develop a simple and unified framework for nonlinear variable selection that incorporates uncertainty in the prediction function and is compatible with a wide range of machine l…

Wide Mean-Field Bayesian Neural Networks Ignore the Data

Beau Coker, Wessel P. Bruinsma, David R. Burt +2

Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) combine the expressive power of deep learning with the advantages of Bayesian formalism. In recent years, the analysis of wide, deep BNNs has provid…

Wide Mean-Field Variational Bayesian Neural Networks Ignore the Data

Beau Coker, Weiwei Pan, Finale Doshi-Velez

Variational inference enables approximate posterior inference of the highly over-parameterized neural networks that are popular in modern machine learning. Unfortunately, such post…

Towards Expressive Priors for Bayesian Neural Networks: Poisson Process Radial Basis Function Networks

Beau Coker, Melanie F. Pradier, Finale Doshi-Velez

While Bayesian neural networks have many appealing characteristics, current priors do not easily allow users to specify basic properties such as expected lengthscale or amplitude v…

Learning a Generative Model of Cancer Metastasis

Benjamin Kompa, Beau Coker

We introduce a Unified Disentanglement Network (UFDN) trained on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We demonstrate that the UFDN learns a biologically relevant latent space of gene ex…
