Multi-task Preference learning with Gaussian Processes

چکیده
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.

متن کاملCollaborative Gaussian Processes for Preference Learning
We present a new model based on Gaussian processes (GPs) for learning pairwise preferences expressed by multiple users. Inference is simplified by using a preference kernel for GPs which allows us to combine supervised GP learning of user preferences with unsupervised dimensionality reduction for multi-user systems. The model not only exploits collaborative information from the shared structure...
متن کاملSparse Gaussian Processes for Learning Preferences
Preference learning has recently gained significant attention in the machine learning community. This is mainly due to its increasing applications in real-world problems such as recommender systems. In this paper, we investigate a Gaussian process framework for learning preferences that uses Expectation Propagation (EP) as its main inference method. This framework is capable of using the collab...
متن کاملMulti-task Sparse Gaussian Processes with Improved Multi-task Sparsity Regularization
Gaussian processes are a popular and effective Bayesian method for classification and regression. Generating sparse Gaussian processes is a hot research topic, since Gaussian processes have to face the problem of cubic time complexity with respect to the size of the training set. Inspired by the idea of multi-task learning, we believe that simultaneously selecting subsets of multiple Gaussian p...
متن کاملTransductive Learning for Multi-Task Copula Processes
We tackle the problem of multi-task learning with copula process. Multivariable prediction in spatial and spatialtemporal processes such as natural resource estimation and pollution monitoring have been typically addressed using techniques based on Gaussian processes and co-Kriging. While the Gaussian prior assumption is convenient from analytical and computational perspectives, nature is domin...
