A Bayesian Framework for Built-in Input Dimension Reduction for Gaussian Process Modeling

Eric Herrison Gyamfi, Emily L. Kang, Bledar A. Konomi, Guang Lin

Gaussian process (GP) modeling is widely used in computational science and engineering. However, fitting a GP to high-dimensional inputs remains challenging due to the curse of dimensionality. While various methods have been proposed to reduce input dimensionality, they typically follow a two-stage approach, performing dimension reduction and GP fitting separately. We introduce a Bayesian framework that seamlessly integrates dimensionality reduction with GP modeling and inference. Our approach, built on a hierarchical Bayesian model with priors on the Stiefel manifold, enforces orthonormality on the projection matrix and enables posterior inference via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with geodesic flow. Additionally, we extend this framework by incorporating Deep Gaussian Processes (DGP) with built-in dimension reduction, providing a more flexible and powerful tool for complex datasets. Through extensive numerical studies, we demonstrate that while the proposed Bayesian method incurs higher computational costs, it improves predictive performance and uncertainty quantification, providing a principled and robust alternative to existing methods.

Distributional Determinantal Point Process for Repulsive Clustering of Distributions

Khai Nguyen, Yang Ni, Elizabeth Juarez-Colunga, Peter Mueller

We introduce the distributional determinantal point process (dDPP) as a novel repulsive point process whose atoms are probability distributions rather than points in a real space. The dDPP is constructed via an L-ensemble with a sliced Wasserstein (SW) kernel between distribution…

Dynamic Gaussian Processes and the Vanilla-SPDE Exchange

Rui-Yang Zhang, Lachlan Astfalck, Edward Cripps, David Leslie, Henry Moss

Gaussian process inference is often limited by cubic computational costs, a challenge that becomes more pronounced in spatio-temporal settings where posterior inference is required over dense grids. While state-space SPDE formulations enable linear complexity in time, exact infer…

Deep Gaussian Processes on Directed Acyclic Graphs

Federico L. Perlino, Oliver Hamelijnck, Adam M. Johansen, Theodoros Damoulas

Many real-world processes can be represented as compositions of functions along a directed acyclic graph (DAG). In causal modelling, these correspond to the underlying mechanisms; in engineering, to multiple fidelity levels; and in gene-regulatory networks, to transcription facto…

A Convex Approximation Framework for Neural Likelihood-Based Bayesian Inverse Problems

Fabian Schneider, Tapio Helin, Leila Taghizadeh

Many problems in science and engineering are difficult to model accurately, either due to unknown physical mechanisms, poorly quantified measurement uncertainty, or prohibitive computational costs of high-fidelity simulations. These challenges limit the applicability of classical…

cGAP: Generalized Association Plots with HOMALS-Guided Heatmaps for Visualization of High-Dimensional Categorical Data

Chun-houh Chen, Shun-Chuan Chang, Chiun-How Kao, Yi-Ju Lee, Shang-Ying Shiu, Yin-Jing Tien, et al.

High-dimensional categorical data arise in genetics, biomedicine, and the social sciences, yet visualization tools for such data remain far less developed than those for continuous variables. Existing methods either scale poorly, rely heavily on low-dimensional displays detached…
