About this paper

Steven Atkinson, Nicholas Zabaras

The Structured Bayesian Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (SGPLVM) from the University of Notre Dame introduces a method for learning low-dimensional representations of high-dimensional, spatially correlated data. It achieves linear computational complexity by exploiting Kronecker product structures, demonstrating improved data imputation and novel super-resolution capabilities on image and video datasets.

Key insights

  • Exploiting Kronecker product structures in GP kernels enables linear computational complexity, making Bayesian GP-LVMs scalable for high-dimensional structured data.
  • Explicitly modeling spatial correlations within observations via a parameterized spatial kernel improves sample efficiency and allows for predictions at varying spatial resolutions.
  • A "partially-collapsed" variational bound provides an efficient mechanism for inferring latent variables and performing data imputation on partially-observed test cases.
