Tighter sparse variational Gaussian processes
Thang D. Bui, Matthew Ashman, Richard E. Turner
Sparse variational Gaussian process (GP) approximations based on inducing points have become the de facto standard for scaling GPs to large datasets, owing to their theoretical ele…
Approximately Equivariant Neural Processes
Matthew Ashman, Cristiana Diaconu, Adrian Weller +2
Equivariant deep learning architectures exploit symmetries in learning problems to improve the sample efficiency of neural-network-based models and their ability to generalise. How…
Gridded Transformer Neural Processes for Large Unstructured Spatio-Temporal Data
Matthew Ashman, Cristiana Diaconu, Eric Langezaal +2
Many important problems require modelling large-scale spatio-temporal datasets, with one prevalent example being weather forecasting. Recently, transformer-based approaches have sh…
Variance-Reducing Couplings for Random Features
Isaac Reid, Stratis Markou, Krzysztof Choromanski +2
Random features (RFs) are a popular technique to scale up kernel methods in machine learning, replacing exact kernel evaluations with stochastic Monte Carlo estimates. They underpi…
Translation Equivariant Transformer Neural Processes
Matthew Ashman, Cristiana Diaconu, Junhyuck Kim +5
The effectiveness of neural processes (NPs) in modelling posterior prediction maps -- the mapping from data to posterior predictive distributions -- has significantly improved sinc…
