Scalable Gaussian Process Variational Autoencoders

AISTATS 2021poster

Conventional variational autoencoders fail in modeling correlations between data points due to their use of factorized priors. Amortized Gaussian process inference through GP-VAEs has led to significant improvements in this regard, but is still inhibited by the intrinsic complexity of exact GP infer…

Scalable Global Optimization via Local Bayesian Optimization

NeurIPS 2019spotlight

Bayesian optimization has recently emerged as a popular method for the sample-efficient optimization of expensive black-box functions. However, the application to high-dimensional problems with several thousand observations remains challenging, and on difficult problems Bayesian optimization is ofte…
