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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) link transcription factor (TF) proteins to their target genes, yet reconstructing these networks from genome-wide data remains challenging under practical and methodological constraints. Many methods couple modeling assumptions to a specific infere…
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…
