Gaussian Mean Field Variational Inference can Overestimate Predictive Variance
James Odgers, Ben Riegler, Siddharth Swaroop +1
Mean Field Variational Inference (MFVI) is widely understood to underestimate posterior variance. By analysing conjugate Bayesian Linear Regression (BLR), we show that this charact…

Standard Acquisition Is Sufficient for Asynchronous Bayesian Optimization
Ben Riegler, James Odgers, Vincent Fortuin
Asynchronous Bayesian optimization is widely used for gradient-free optimization in domains with independent parallel experiments and varying evaluation times. Existing methods pos…

Weighted-Sum of Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models
James Odgers, Ruby Sedgwick, Chrysoula Kappatou +2
This work develops a Bayesian non-parametric approach to signal separation where the signals may vary according to latent variables. Our key contribution is to augment Gaussian Pro…
