Bayesian Quadrature for Prediction and Optimisation

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Zoubin Ghahramani .

Bayesian inference often requires the evaluation of nonanalytic integrals. These must be approximated using methods for numerical integration, or quadrature, of which Monte Carlo techniques are the most common. A more principled alternative is found in Bayesian Quadrature, also known as Bayesian Monte Carlo, which employs a Gaussian process model for the integrand. We describe an extension of previous Bayesian quadrature techniques that explicitly models the non-negativity of integrands. We then present results of the use of Bayesian quadrature for problems related to changepoint and fault detection, global optimisation and sensor selection.
