• Abstract: In this work, we use Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs) as statistical surrogates for stochastic processes with complex distributions. Conventional inferential methods for DGP models can suffer from high computational complexity as they require large-scale operations with kernel matrices for training and inference. In this work, we propose an efficient scheme for accurate inference and efficient training based on a range of Gaussian Processes, called the Tensor Markov Gaussian Processes (TMGP). We construct an induced approximation of TMGP referred to as the hierarchical expansion. Next, we develop a deep TMGP (DTMGP) model as the composition of multiple hierarchical expansion of TMGPs. The proposed DTMGP model has the following properties: (1) the outputs of each activation function are deterministic while the weights are chosen independently from standard Gaussian distribution; (2) in training or prediction, only polylog(M) (out of M) activation functions have non-zero outputs, which significantly boosts the computational efficiency. Our numerical experiments on synthetic models and real datasets show the superior computational efficiency of DTMGP over existing DGP models.

• Deep Transformed Gaussian Processes [0.0]
  Transformed Gaussian Processes (TGPs) are processes specified by transforming samples from the joint distribution from a prior process (typically a GP) using an invertible transformation. We propose a generalization of TGPs named Deep Transformed Gaussian Processes (DTGPs), which follows the trend of concatenating layers of processes. Experiments conducted evaluate the proposed DTGPs in multiple regression datasets, achieving good scalability and performance.

  We propose an incremental ensemble (IE-) GP framework, where an EGP meta-learner employs an it ensemble of GP learners, each having a unique kernel belonging to a prescribed kernel dictionary. With each GP expert leveraging the random feature-based approximation to perform online prediction and model update with it scalability, the EGP meta-learner capitalizes on data-adaptive weights to synthesize the per-expert predictions. The novel IE-GP is generalized to accommodate time-varying functions by modeling structured dynamics at the EGP meta-learner and within each GP learner.

This article studies new scalable GP paradigms including the non-stationary heteroscedastic GP, the mixture of GPs and the latent GP, which introduce additional latent variables to modulate the outputs or inputs in order to learn richer, non-Gaussian statistical representation.

  Surrogate models have been successfully used in likelihood-free inference to decrease the number of simulator evaluations. We propose a Deep Gaussian Process (DGP) surrogate model that can handle more irregularly behaved target distributions. Our experiments show how DGPs can outperform GPs on objective functions with multimodal distributions and maintain a comparable performance in unimodal cases.
