Contributed Discussion of "A Bayesian Conjugate Gradient Method"
We would like to congratulate the authors of "A Bayesian Conjugate Gradient Method" on their insightful paper, and welcome this publication which we firmly believe will become a fundamental contribution to the growing field of probabilistic numerical methods and in particular the sub-field of Bayesian numerical methods. In this short piece, which will be published as a comment alongside the main paper, we first initiate a discussion on the choice of priors for solving linear systems, then propose an extension of the Bayesian conjugate gradient (BayesCG) algorithm for solving several related linear systems simultaneously.

Gradient conjugate priors and multi-layer neural networks
The paper deals with learning probability distributions of observed data by artificial neural networks. We suggest a so-called gradient conjugate prior (GCP) update appropriate for neural networks, which is a modificatio…
Bayesian Online Natural Gradient (BONG)
We propose a novel approach to sequential Bayesian inference based on variational Bayes (VB). The key insight is that, in the online setting, we do not need to add the KL term to regularize to the prior (which comes from…
