Multi-Relational Learning with Gaussian Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 analyzed in the context of bipartite, directed, and undirected univariate relations. Experimental results on real-world datasets show that exploiting the correlations among different entity types and relations can indeed improve prediction performance.

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 کاملRelational Learning with Gaussian Processes
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...
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 کاملMulti-task Preference learning with Gaussian Processes
We present an EM-algorithm for the problem of learning user preferences with Gaussian processes in the context of multi-task learning. We validate our approach on an audiological data set and show that predictive results for sound quality perception of normal hearing and hearingimpaired subjects, in the context of pairwise comparison experiments, can be improved using the hierarchical model.
