Bui, Thang Duc. "Efficient deterministic approximate Bayesian inference for Gaussian process models." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/273833.

Full text

Abstract:

Gaussian processes are powerful nonparametric distributions over continuous functions that have become a standard tool in modern probabilistic machine learning. However, the applicability of Gaussian processes in the large-data regime and in hierarchical probabilistic models is severely limited by analytic and computational intractabilities. It is, therefore, important to develop practical approximate inference and learning algorithms that can address these challenges. To this end, this dissertation provides a comprehensive and unifying perspective of pseudo-point based deterministic approxima

Abstract:

Gaussian process (GP) models are widely used to perform Bayesian nonlinear regression and classification tasks that are central to many machine learning problems. A GP is nonparametric, meaning that the complexity of the model grows as more data points are received. Another attractive feature is the behaviour of the error bars. They naturally grow in regions away from training data where we have high uncertainty about the interpolating function. In their standard form GPs have several limitations, which can be divided into two broad categories: computational difficulties for large data sets, a

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM) is widely recognised as a paradigm shift in the nature of future manufacturing as it has demonstrated the potential to offer the variety of benefits that are difficult to achieve otherwise, including: mass-customisation, great freedom of design, waste minimisation and the ability to fabricate complex shapes. However, the commercial integration of AM technologies is still greatly limited, especially High Production Rate AM (HPRAM) technology in metal AM domains. Such limitation is attributed to the lack of process monitoring and quality assurance measures in metal AM

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how data from a residential property owner can be utilized to enable better energy management for their building stock. Specifically, this is done through the development of two machine learning models with the objective of detecting anomalies in the existing data of electricity consumption. The dataset consists of two years of residential electricity consumption for 193 substations belonging to the residential property owner Uppsalahem. The first of the developed models uses the K-means method to cluster substations with similar consumption pattern

Constructing internal representations of the world is a fundamental aspect of cognition, allowing us to predict and control our environment.

We consider experiments from a variety of psychological domains, in each case proposing a rational structure-learning model and comparing real behaviour

Abstract:

Nonparametric Bayesian inference has widespread applications in statistics and machine learning. In this thesis, we examine the most popular priors used in Bayesian non-parametric inference. The Dirichlet process and its extensions are priors on an infinite-dimensional space. Originally introduced by Ferguson (1983), its conjugacy property allows a tractable posterior inference which has lately given rise to a significant developments in applications related to machine learning. Another yet widespread prior used in nonparametric Bayesian inference is the Beta process and its extensions. It has

Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2004.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 59-60).<br>This research examines how an athletic footwear company should establish its new product development and launch process to eliminate wastes in the processes and improve the time to market. Currently, it typically takes an athletic footwear company twelve months to introduce new product samples. Retailers place orders after they see samples, however they will not receive and sell the shoes in their retail stores until six months late

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of learning and the constituents of learning in creating process innovations and realizing organizational change. Organizational learning was studied and the data was collected in process development projects, in which process simulations were used as a development method for process innovations and change. The empirical research was carried out mainly in 1988–2001. In this thesis, the results of those studies are reflected on, together with the recent literature related to organizational learning theories in the context of process inn

Abstract:

Test efficiency measures the cost-effectiveness of a test organisation and it is measured by dividing the number of defects found in a test by the effort needed to perform the test. This thesis project investigated whether the Mobile Positioning Centre (MPC) site at Ericsson AB could improve their test efficiency or not. The purpose of the project was to identify areas that could increase the test efficiency by investigating state of the art literature and evaluating the test process at MPC. The evaluation identified unit testing and debugging as the areas at MPC where the test efficiency coul
