Scalable GAM using sparse variational Gaussian processes
Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a widely used class of models of interest to statisticians as they provide a flexible way to design interpretable models of data beyond linear models. We here propose a scalable and well-calibrated Bayesian treatment of GAMs using Gaussian processes (GPs) and leveraging recent advances in variational inference. We use sparse GPs to represent each component and exploit the additive structure of the model to efficiently represent a Gaussian a posteriori coupling between the components.

Sparse Orthogonal Variational Inference for Gaussian Processes
We introduce a new interpretation of sparse variational approximations for Gaussian processes using inducing points, which can lead to more scalable algorithms than previous methods. It is based on decomposing a Gaussian…

Zero-inflated datasets, which have an excess of zero outputs, are commonly encountered in problems such as climate or rare event modelling. Conventional machine learning approaches tend to overestimate the non-zeros lead…
