Receptive Field Inference with Localized Priors
The linear receptive field describes a mapping from sensory stimuli to a one-dimensional variable governing a neuron's spike response. However, traditional receptive field estimators such as the spike-triggered average converge slowly and often require large amounts of data. Bayesian methods seek to overcome this problem by biasing estimates towards solutions that are more likely a priori, typi...
متن کاملBayesian active learning with localized priors for fast receptive field characterization
Active learning methods can dramatically improve the yield of neurophysiology experiments by adaptively selecting stimuli to probe a neuron’s receptive field (RF). Bayesian active learning methods specify a posterior distribution over the RF given the data collected so far in the experiment, and select a stimulus on each time step that maximally reduces posterior uncertainty. However, existing ...
متن کاملBayesian inference with rescaled Gaussian process priors
Abstract: We use rescaled Gaussian processes as prior models for functional parameters in nonparametric statistical models. We show how the rate of contraction of the posterior distributions depends on the scaling factor. In particular, we exhibit rescaled Gaussian process priors yielding posteriors that contract around the true parameter at optimal convergence rates. To derive our results we e...
متن کاملLabel Inference with Registration and Patch Priors
In this paper, we present a novel label inference method that integrates registration and patch priors, and serves as a remedy for labelling errors around structural boundaries. With the initial label map provided by nonrigid registration methods, its corresponding signed distance function can be estimated and used to evaluate the segmentation confidence. The pixels with less confident labels a...
متن کاملPriors in quantum Bayesian inference
In quantum Bayesian inference problems, any conclusions drawn from a finite number of measurements depend not only on the outcomes of the measurements but also on a prior. Here we show that, in general, the prior remains important even in the limit of an infinite number of measurements. We illustrate this point with several examples where two priors lead to very different conclusions given the ...
