Constrained and Low Rank Gaussian Process on Some Manifolds |
Gaussian processes have been widely and successfully used in machine learning applications. In this thesis, we propose to solve some limitations due to complexity and efficiency in high dimensions. Hence, we first investigate low complexity Gaussian processes by exploiting the Karhunen-Loève expansions. The proposed models reduce the computational cost, capture complex patterns, and maintain numerical efficiency. Second, we introduce a novel approach that employs Gaussian processes with hard constraints to approximate any density function. We propose a new formulation to simplify the geometric structure of the underlying space. As a result, the posterior distribution is normal constrained to the unit sphere, and it is numerically approximated using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is validated through a series of various and multiple experiments. Finally, we introduce transfer learning models in the space of finite probability measures. We provide theoretical guaranties as well as detailed algorithms for numerical implementations. Consequently, we were able to generalize the transfer of Principal Components for Analysis (PCA) and linear regression models. Again, we illustrate and evaluate the proposed methods through various experiments.
