Relational Learning with Gaussian Processes

چکیده
Correlation between instances is often modelled via a kernel function using input attributes of the instances. Relational knowledge can further reveal additional pairwise correlations between variables of interest. In this paper, we develop a class of models which incorporates both reciprocal relational information and input attributes using Gaussian process techniques. This approach provides a novel non-parametric Bayesian framework with a data-dependent covariance function for supervised learning tasks. We also apply this framework to semi-supervised learning. Experimental results on several real world data sets verify the usefulness of this algorithm.

Learning Preferences with Hidden Common Cause Relations
Gaussian processes have successfully been used to learn preferences among entities as they provide nonparametric Bayesian approaches for model selection and probabilistic inference. For many entities encountered in real-world applications, however, there are complex relations between them. In this paper, we present a preference model which incorporates information on relations among entities. S...
متن کاملMulti-Relational Learning with Gaussian Processes
Due to their flexible nonparametric nature, Gaussian process models are very effective at solving hard machine learning problems. While existing Gaussian process models focus on modeling one single relation, we present a generalized GP model, named multi-relational Gaussian process model, that is able to deal with an arbitrary number of relations in a domain of interest. The proposed model is a...
متن کاملOn the Numeric Stability of Gaussian Processes Regression for Relational Reinforcement Learning
In this work we investigate the behavior of Gaussian processes as a regression technique for reinforcement learning. When confronted with too many mutually dependant learning examples, the matrix inversion needed for prediction of a new target value becomes numerically unstable. By paying attention to using suitable numerical techniques and employing QR-factorization these instabilities can be ...
متن کاملGaussian Process Models for Link Analysis and Transfer Learning
This paper aims to model relational data on edges of networks. We describe appropriate Gaussian Processes (GPs) for directed, undirected, and bipartite networks. The inter-dependencies of edges can be effectively modeled by adapting the GP hyper-parameters. The framework suggests an intimate connection between link prediction and transfer learning, which were traditionally two separate research...
متن کاملGaussian Logic for Proteomics and Genomics
We describe a statistical relational learning framework called Gaussian Logic capable to work efficiently with combinations of relational and numerical data. The framework assumes that, for a fixed relational structure, the numerical data can be modelled by a multivariate normal distribution. We show how the Gaussian Logic framework can be used to predict DNA-binding propensity of proteins and ...
