BayesSum: Bayesian Quadrature in Discrete Spaces

Sophia Seulkee Kang, François-Xavier Briol, Toni Karvonen +1

This paper addresses the challenging computational problem of estimating intractable expectations over discrete domains. Existing approaches, including Monte Carlo and Russian Roul…

Outlier-Robust Multi-Output Gaussian Processes

Joshua Rooijakkers, Leiv Rønneberg, François-Xavier Briol +2

Multi-output Gaussian process (MOGP) regression allows modelling dependencies among multiple correlated response variables. Similarly to standard Gaussian processes (GPs), MOGPs ar…

Multilevel neural simulation-based inference

Yuga Hikida, Ayush Bharti, Niall Jeffrey +1

Neural simulation-based inference (SBI) is a popular set of methods for Bayesian inference when models are only available in the form of a simulator. These methods are widely used…

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…

A Dictionary of Closed-Form Kernel Mean Embeddings

François-Xavier Briol, Alexandra Gessner, Toni Karvonen +1

Kernel mean embeddings -- integrals of a kernel with respect to a probability distribution -- are essential in Bayesian quadrature, but also widely used in other computational tool…

Nested Expectations with Kernel Quadrature

Zonghao Chen, Masha Naslidnyk, François-Xavier Briol

This paper considers the challenging computational task of estimating nested expectations. Existing algorithms, such as nested Monte Carlo or multilevel Monte Carlo, are known to b…

Robust and Conjugate Spatio-Temporal Gaussian Processes

William Laplante, Matias Altamirano, Andrew Duncan +2

State-space formulations allow for Gaussian process (GP) regression with linear-in-time computational cost in spatio-temporal settings, but performance typically suffers in the pre…

Fast Approximate Solution of Stein Equations for Post-Processing of MCMC

Qingyang Liu, Heishiro Kanagawa, Matthew A. Fisher +2

Bayesian inference is conceptually elegant, but calculating posterior expectations can entail a heavy computational cost. Monte Carlo methods are reliable and supported by strong a…
