Hyperparameter Learning via Distributional Transfer

NeurIPS 2019poster

Bayesian optimisation is a popular technique for hyperparameter learning but typically requires initial exploration even in cases where similar prior tasks have been solved. We propose to transfer information across tasks using learnt representations of training datasets used in those tasks. This re…

Variational Learning on Aggregate Outputs with Gaussian Processes

NeurIPS 2018poster

While a typical supervised learning framework assumes that the inputs and the outputs are measured at the same levels of granularity, many applications, including global mapping of disease, only have access to outputs at a much coarser level than that of the inputs. Aggregation of outputs makes gene…

Testing and Learning on Distributions with Symmetric Noise Invariance

NeurIPS 2017poster

Kernel embeddings of distributions and the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), the resulting distance between distributions, are useful tools for fully nonparametric two-sample testing and learning on distributions. However, it is rarely that all possible differences between samples are of interest -- d…
