Deep Gaussian Process

Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are hierarchical Bayesian models extending the capabilities of standard Gaussian processes to model complex, multi-layered relationships in data. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency and scalability of DGP inference, often employing variational inference techniques, stochastic differential equations, and sparse inducing point methods to approximate intractable posterior distributions. These advancements aim to enhance the accuracy and applicability of DGPs across diverse fields, including time series analysis, multifidelity modeling, and image processing, where they offer robust uncertainty quantification and the ability to handle non-linear relationships. The resulting models show promise for improving predictions and uncertainty estimates in various scientific and engineering applications.
