CKLDiagonalInferenceMethod Class Reference

Detailed Description

The KL approximation inference method class.

The class is implemented based on the KL method in the Challis's paper which uses 1-band (diagonal) represention. Note that in order to do variational inference, each diagonal element should be positive. This implementation updates the diagonal elements in log domain.

Code adapted from http://hannes.nickisch.org/code/approxXX.tar.gz and Gaussian Process Machine Learning Toolbox http://www.gaussianprocess.org/gpml/code/matlab/doc/ and the reference paper is Challis, Edward, and David Barber. "Concave Gaussian variational approximations for inference in large-scale Bayesian linear models." International conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics. 2011.

The adapted Matlab code can be found at https://gist.github.com/yorkerlin/d8acb388d03c6976728e

Note that "Diagonal" means a variational diagonal co-variance matrix is used in inference.

float64_t get_marginal_likelihood_estimate ( int32_t  num_importance_samples = 1,
float64_t  ridge_size = 1e-15 
)
inherited

Computes an unbiased estimate of the marginal-likelihood (in log-domain),

\[ p(y|X,\theta), \]

where \(y\) are the labels, \(X\) are the features (omitted from in the following expressions), and \(\theta\) represent hyperparameters.

This is done via a Gaussian approximation to the posterior \(q(f|y, \theta)\approx p(f|y, \theta)\), which is computed by the underlying CInference instance (if implemented, otherwise error), and then using an importance sample estimator

\[ p(y|\theta)=\int p(y|f)p(f|\theta)df =\int p(y|f)\frac{p(f|\theta)}{q(f|y, \theta)}q(f|y, \theta)df \approx\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n p(y|f^{(i)})\frac{p(f^{(i)}|\theta)} {q(f^{(i)}|y, \theta)}, \]

where \( f^{(i)} \) are samples from the posterior approximation \( q(f|y, \theta) \). The resulting estimator has a low variance if \( q(f|y, \theta) \) is a good approximation. It has large variance otherwise (while still being consistent). Storing all number of log-domain ensures numerical stability.

Parameters
num_importance_samplesthe number of importance samples \(n\) from \( q(f|y, \theta) \).
ridge_sizescalar that is added to the diagonal of the involved Gaussian distribution's covariance of GP prior and posterior approximation to stabilise things. Increase if covariance matrix is not numerically positive semi-definite.
Returns
unbiased estimate of the marginal likelihood function \( p(y|\theta),\) in log-domain.
