• Abstract: Conditional Neural Processes (CNPs) constitute a family of probabilistic models that harness the flexibility of neural networks to parameterize stochastic processes. Their capability to furnish well-calibrated predictions, combined with simple maximum-likelihood training, has established them as appealing solutions for addressing various learning problems, with a particular emphasis on meta-learning. A prominent member of this family, Convolutional Conditional Neural Processes (ConvCNPs), utilizes convolution to explicitly introduce translation equivariance as an inductive bias. However, ConvCNP's reliance on local discrete kernels in its convolution layers can pose challenges in capturing long-range dependencies and complex patterns within the data, especially when dealing with limited and irregularly sampled observations from a new task. Building on the successes of Fourier neural operators (FNOs) for approximating the solution operators of parametric partial differential equations (PDEs), we propose Spectral Convolutional Conditional Neural Processes (SConvCNPs), a new addition to the NPs family that allows for more efficient representation of functions in the frequency domain.

  Continuous input signals like images and time series that are irregularly sampled or have missing values are challenging for existing deep learning methods. We propose Probabilistic Convolutional Neural Networks which represent features as Gaussian processes (GPs) We then define a convolutional layer as the evolution of a PDE defined on this GP, followed by a nonlinearity. In experiments we show that our approach yields a $3times$ reduction of error from the previous state of the art on the SuperPixel-MNIST dataset and competitive performance on the medical time2012 dataset PhysioNet.
