Gaussian Process Neurons
We propose a method to learn stochastic activation functions for use in probabilistic neural networks. First, we develop a framework to embed stochastic activation functions based on Gaussian processes in probabilistic neural networks. Second, we analytically derive expressions for the propagation of means and covariances in such a network, thus allowing for an efficient implementation and training without the need for sampling. Third, we show how to apply variational Bayesian inference to regularize and efficiently train this model. The resulting model can deal with uncertain inputs and implicitly provides an estimate of the confidence of its predictions. Like a conventional neural network it can scale to datasets of arbitrary size and be extended with convolutional and recurrent connections, if desired.

Proportional infinite-width infinite-depth limit for deep linear neural networks
We study the distributional properties of linear neural networks with random parameters in the context of large networks, where the number of layers diverges in proportion to the number of neurons per layer. Prior works …
DescriptiveRate of Convergence of Polynomial Networks to Gaussian Processes
We examine one-hidden-layer neural networks with random weights. It is well-known that in the limit of infinitely many neurons they simplify to Gaussian processes. For networks with a polynomial activation, we demonstrat…
Gaussian ProcessesBuilding Quantum Field Theories Out of Neurons
An approach to field theory is studied in which fields are comprised of $N$ constituent random neurons. Gaussian theories arise in the infinite-$N$ limit when neurons are independently distributed, via the Central Limit …
Gaussian Process Regression -- Neural Network Hybrid with Optimized Redundant Coordinates
Recently, a Gaussian Process Regression - neural network (GPRNN) hybrid machine learning method was proposed, which is based on additive-kernel GPR in redundant coordinates constructed by rules [J. Phys. Chem. A 127 (202…
Dimensionality ReductionSpiking GS: Towards High-Accuracy and Low-Cost Surface Reconstruction via Spiking Neuron-based Gaussian Splatting
3D Gaussian Splatting is capable of reconstructing 3D scenes in minutes. Despite recent advances in improving surface reconstruction accuracy, the reconstructed results still exhibit bias and suffer from inefficiency in …
