Choice functions based multi-objective Bayesian optimisation

Alessio Benavoli, Dario Azzimonti, Dario Piga

In this work we introduce a new framework for multi-objective Bayesian optimisation where the multi-objective functions can only be accessed via choice judgements, such as ``I pick…

Gaussian Processes to speed up MCMC with automatic exploratory-exploitation effect

Alessio Benavoli, Jason Wyse, Arthur White

We present a two-stage Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for sampling probabilistic models, whose log-likelihood is computationally expensive to evaluate, by using a surrogate Gaussian…

Bayesian Kernelised Test of (In)dependence with Mixed-type Variables

Alessio Benavoli, Cassio de Campos

A fundamental task in AI is to assess (in)dependence between mixed-type variables (text, image, sound). We propose a Bayesian kernelised correlation test of (in)dependence using a…

A unified framework for closed-form nonparametric regression, classification, preference and mixed problems with Skew Gaussian Processes

Alessio Benavoli, Dario Azzimonti, Dario Piga

Skew-Gaussian processes (SkewGPs) extend the multivariate Unified Skew-Normal distributions over finite dimensional vectors to distribution over functions. SkewGPs are more general…

Orthogonally Decoupled Variational Fourier Features

Dario Azzimonti, Manuel Schürch, Alessio Benavoli +1

Sparse inducing points have long been a standard method to fit Gaussian processes to big data. In the last few years, spectral methods that exploit approximations of the covariance…
