Deep Kernel
Deep kernel learning (DKL) combines the power of deep neural networks with the probabilistic framework of Gaussian processes, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of machine learning models, particularly in high-dimensional spaces. Current research focuses on developing DKL methods for various applications, including Bayesian optimization, independence testing, and image reconstruction, often employing architectures that integrate deep kernels with Gaussian processes or other models like genetic algorithms. This approach offers advantages in handling complex data, providing robust uncertainty quantification, and improving sample efficiency in optimization problems, impacting fields ranging from materials science and medical imaging to robotics and time series analysis.
