Amortized Structured Stochastic Variational Inference for Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models

Maksym Tretiakov, Sarah Filippi, Sarah Lucie Filipp +4

Many machine learning methods aim to approximate the lower-dimensional manifold on which the data lives. A desirable feature of such methods is that they should capture the epistem…

Meta-learning for sample-efficient Bayesian optimisation of fed-batch processes

Becky Langdon, Gabriel D. Patrón, Chrysoula D. Kappatou +6

The optimisation of fed-batch (bio)chemical process recipes is subject to inherent, underlying, and unmeasurable fluctuations across batches, whose trajectories are difficult to mo…
