Extrapolating from Regularised Solutions for Solving Ill-Conditioned Linear Systems in Machine Learning
Disha Hegde, Jon Cockayne, Chris. J. Oates
Rapid prototyping of algorithms is a critical step in modern machine learning. Most algorithms exploit linear algebra, creating a need for lightweight numerical routines which -- w…
Predictively-Oriented Kalman Filtering
Zheyang Shen, Gerardo Duran-Martin, Chris. J. Oates
This paper presents a post-Bayesian approach to online filtering in nonlinear state-space models, capable of avoiding over-confident inferences in settings where either the dynamic…
Thinned Mean Field Langevin Dynamics
Zonghao Chen, Heishiro Kanagawa, François-Xavier Briol +2
Several important learning tasks can be formulated as minimizing an entropy-regularized objective over an appropriate space of probability distributions. Mean-field Langevin dynami…
Stationary MMD Points
Zonghao Chen, Toni Karvonen, Heishiro Kanagawa +2
Approximation of a target probability distribution using a finite set of points is a problem of fundamental importance in numerical integration. Several authors have proposed to se…
Sparse Probabilistic Richardson Extrapolation
Chris. J. Oates, Richard Howey, Toni Karvonen
Almost every numerical task can be cast as extrapolation with respect to the fidelity or tolerance parameters of a consistent numerical method. This perspective enables probabilist…
Probabilistic Inference and Learning with Stein's Method
Qiang Liu, Lester Mackey, Chris Oates
This monograph provides a rigorous overview of theoretical and methodological aspects of probabilistic inference and learning with Stein's method. Recipes are provided for construc…
