SPDE Methods for Nonparametric Bayesian Posterior Contraction and Laplace Approximation
We derive posterior contraction rates (PCRs) and finite-sample Bernstein von Mises (BvM) results for non-parametric Bayesian models by extending the diffusion-based framework of Mou et al. (2024) to the infinite-dimensional setting. The posterior is represented as the invariant measure of a Langevin stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) on a separable Hilbert space, which allows us to control posterior moments and obtain non-asymptotic concentration rates in Hilbert norms under various likelihood curvature and regularity conditions. We also establish a quantitative Laplace approximation for the posterior. The theory is illustrated in a nonparametric linear Gaussian inverse problem.

Equivalence of Convergence Rates of Posterior Distributions and Bayes Estimators for Functions and Nonparametric Functionals
We study the posterior contraction rates of a Bayesian method with Gaussian process priors in nonparametric regression and its plug-in property for differential operators. For a general class of kernels, we establish con…
Gaussian ProcessesregressionA Bayesian approach to learning mixtures of nonparametric components
Mixture models are widely used in modeling heterogeneous data populations. A standard approach of mixture modeling assumes that the mixture component takes a parametric kernel form. In many applications, making parametri…
Nonparametric regression on random geometric graphs sampled from submanifolds
We consider the nonparametric regression problem when the covariates are located on an unknown smooth compact submanifold of a Euclidean space. Under defining a random geometric graph structure over the covariates we ana…

We develop a fully intrinsic Bayesian framework for nonparametric regression on the unit sphere based on isotropic Gaussian field priors and the harmonic structure induced by the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Under uniform …
Posterior Contraction of Lévy Adaptive B-spline Regression in Besov Spaces
We investigate the asymptotic properties of the Lévy Adaptive B-spline (LABS) regression model, a Bayesian nonparametric method that incorporates B-spline kernels into the Lévy Adaptive Regression Kernel (LARK) model. LA…
