A fundamental challenge in data synthesis is protecting the fairness and privacy of the individual, particularly in data-scarce environments where underrepresented groups are at risk of further marginalization by reproducing the biases inherent in the data modeling process. We introduce a privacy- a…
Multi-output Gaussian processes (MOGPs) provide a Bayesian framework for modeling non-linear functions with multiple outputs, in which nonstationary kernels are essential for capturing input-dependent variations in observations. However, from a spectral (dual) perspective, existing nonstationary ker…
The multi-view Gaussian process latent variable model (MV-GPLVM) aims to learn a unified representation from multi-view data but is hindered by challenges such as limited kernel expressiveness and low computational efficiency. To overcome these issues, we first introduce a new duality between the sp…
Mixture-of-expert (MOE) models are popular methods in machine learning, since they can model heterogeneous behaviour across the space of the data using an ensemble collection of learners. These models are especially useful for modelling dynamic data as time-dependent data often exhibit non-stationar…
Gaussian process latent variable models (GPLVMs) are a versatile family of unsupervised learning models commonly used for dimensionality reduction. However, common challenges in modeling data with GPLVMs include inadequate kernel flexibility and improper selection of the projection noise, leading to…
Variational autoencoders (VAE) are one of the most prominent deep generative models for learning the underlying statistical distribution of high-dimensional data. However, training VAEs suffers from a severe issue called posterior collapse; that is, the learned posterior distribution collapses to th…
