MULTI-SCALE GAUSSIAN PROCESSES MODEL

A novel model named Multi-scale Gaussian Processes (MGP) is proposed. Motivated by the ideas of multi-scale representations in the wavelet theory, in the new model, a Gaussian process is represented at a scale by a linear basis that is composed of a scale function and its different translations. Finally the distribution of the targets of the given samples can be obtained at different scales. Compared with the standard Gaussian Processes (GP) model, the MGP model can control its complexity conveniently just by adjusting the scale pa-rameter. So it can trade-off the generalization ability and the empirical risk rapidly. Experiments verify the fea-sibility of the MGP model, and exhibit that its performance is superior to the GP model if appropriate scales are chosen.

Soft sensor modeling based on Gaussian processes

In order to meet the demand of online optimal running, a novel soft sensor modeling approach based on Gaussian processes was proposed. The approach is moderately simple to implement and use without loss of performance. It is trained by optimizing the hyperparameters using the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm with the squared exponential covariance function employed. Experimental simulations show that the soft sensor modeling approach has the advantage via a real-world example in a refinery. Meanwhile, the method opens new possibilities for application of kernel methods to potential fields.

Recent Advances in Data-Driven Wireless Communication Using Gaussian Processes: A Comprehensive Survey

Data-driven paradigms are well-known and salient demands of future wireless communication. Empowered by big data and machine learning techniques,next-generation data-driven communication systems will be intelligent with unique characteristics of expressiveness, scalability, interpretability, and uncertainty awareness, which can confidently involve diversified latent demands and personalized services in the foreseeable future. In this paper, we review a promising family of nonparametric Bayesian machine learning models,i.e., Gaussian processes(GPs), and their applications in wireless communication. Since GP models demonstrate outstanding expressive and interpretable learning ability with uncertainty, they are particularly suitable for wireless communication. Moreover, they provide a natural framework for collaborating data and empirical models(DEM). Specifically, we first envision three-level motivations of data-driven wireless communication using GP models. Then, we present the background of the GPs in terms of covariance structure and model inference. The expressiveness of the GP model using various interpretable kernels, including stationary, non-stationary, deep and multi-task kernels,is showcased. Furthermore, we review the distributed GP models with promising scalability, which is suitable for applications in wireless networks with a large number of distributed edge devices. Finally, we list representative solutions and promising techniques that adopt GP models in various wireless communication applications.

Limit theorems for supremum of Gaussian processes over a random interval

Let {X(t), t ≥ 0} be a centered stationary Gaussian process with correlation r(t)such that 1-r(t) is asymptotic to a regularly varying function. With T being a nonnegative random variable and independent of X(t), the exact asymptotics of P(sup_(t∈[0,T])X(t) > x) is considered, as x → ∞.

Hausdorff Measure of Space Anisotropic Gaussian Processes with Non-stationary Increments

Let X={X(t),t∈R+} be a centered space anisotropic Gaussian process values in R^(d) with non-stationary increments,whose components are independent but may not be identically distributed.Under certain conditions,then almost surely c_(1)≤ϕ-m(X([0,1]))≤c_(2),where ϕ denotes the exact Hausdor measure associated with function ϕ(s)=s1/α_(k)+Σ_(i=1)k(1-αi/αk)log log 1/s for some 1≤k≤d,(α_(1),…,α_(d))2(0,1]^(d).We also obtain the exact Hausdor measure of the graph of X on[0,1].

Dynamic System Identification of Underwater Vehicles Using Multi-output Gaussian Processes

Non-parametric system identification with Gaussian processes for underwater vehicles is explored in this research with the purpose of modelling autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) dynamics with a low amount of data. Multi-output Gaussian processes and their aptitude for modelling the dynamic system of an underactuated AUV without losing the relationships between tied outputs are used. The simulation of a first-principle model of a Remus 100 AUV is employed to capture data for the training and validation of the multi-output Gaussian processes. The metric and required procedure to carry out multi-output Gaussian processes for AUV with 6 degrees of freedom(DoF) is also shown in this paper. Multi-output Gaussian processes compared with the popular technique of recurrent neural network show that multi-output Gaussian processes manage to surpass RNN for non-parametric dynamic system identification in underwater vehicles with highly coupled DoF with the added benefit of providing the measurement of confidence.

Extremes of threshold-dependent Gaussian processes

In this paper,we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior,as u→∞,of P{sup_t∈|0,T|X_u(t)>u},where X_u(t),t∈|0,T|,u>0 is a family of centered Gaussian processes with continuous trajectories.A key application of our findings concerns P{sup_t∈|0,T|(X(t)+g(t))>u},as u→∞,for X a centered Gaussian process and g some measurable trend function.Further applications include the approximation of both the ruin time and the ruin probability of the Brownian motion risk model with constant force of interest.

Dynamic soft sensor development based on Gaussian mixture regression for fermentation processes

The dynamic soft sensor based on a single Gaussian process regression(GPR) model has been developed in fermentation processes.However,limitations of single regression models,for multiphase/multimode fermentation processes,may result in large prediction errors and complexity of the soft sensor.Therefore,a dynamic soft sensor based on Gaussian mixture regression(GMR) was proposed to overcome the problems.Two structure parameters,the number of Gaussian components and the order of the model,are crucial to the soft sensor model.To achieve a simple and effective soft sensor,an iterative strategy was proposed to optimize the two structure parameters synchronously.For the aim of comparisons,the proposed dynamic GMR soft sensor and the existing dynamic GPR soft sensor were both investigated to estimate biomass concentration in a Penicillin simulation process and an industrial Erythromycin fermentation process.Results show that the proposed dynamic GMR soft sensor has higher prediction accuracy and is more suitable for dynamic multiphase/multimode fermentation processes.

The Limit Theorems for Maxima of Stationary Gaussian Processes with Random Index

Let {X（t）, t ≥ 0} be a standard（zero-mean, unit-variance） stationary Gaussian process with correlation function r（·） and continuous sample paths. In this paper, we consider the maxima M（T） = max{X（t）, t∈ [0, T ]} with random index TT, where TT /T converges to a non-degenerate distribution or to a positive random variable in probability, and show that the limit distribution of M（TT） exists under some additional conditions related to the correlation function r（·）.

Spatial batch optimal design based on self-learning Gaussian process models for LPCVD processes

Low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) is one of the most important processes during semiconductor manufacturing.However,the spatial distribution of internal temperature and extremely few samples makes it hard to build a good-quality model of this batch process.Besides,due to the properties of this process,the reliability of the model must be taken into consideration when optimizing the MVs.In this work,an optimal design strategy based on the self-learning Gaussian process model(GPM) is proposed to control this kind of spatial batch process.The GPM is utilized as the internal model to predict the thicknesses of thin films on all spatial-distributed wafers using the limited data.Unlike the conventional model based design,the uncertainties of predictions provided by GPM are taken into consideration to guide the optimal design of manipulated variables so that the designing can be more prudent Besides,the GPM is also actively enhanced using as little data as possible based on the predictive uncertainties.The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is successfully demonstrated in an LPCVD process.

Maxima and sum for discrete and continuous time Gaussian processes

We study the asymptotic relation among the maximum of continuous weakly and strongly dependent stationary Gaussian process, the maximum of this process sampled at discrete time points, and the partial sum of this process. It is shown that these two extreme values and the sum are asymptotically independent if the grid of the discrete time points is sufficiently sparse and the Gaussian process is weakly dependent, and asymptotically dependent if the grid points are Pickands grids or dense grids.

ON LOCAL CONTINUITY MODULI FOR GAUSSIAN PROCESSES

In this paper, we get three local continuity moduli theorems for the almost surely continuous, stationary increments Gaussian process {Y(t), t0}, the partial sum processes X(t,N)= (t) of infinite dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes {Xk(t), t0}, and lp-valued Gaussian processes {Y(t), t0}={Xk(t), t0}, separately. The first theorem implies the local continuity modulus theorem for the series X(t)=, Xk(t) of infinite dimensional OrnsteinUhlenbeck processes which has been obtained in [3].

QUANTUM GAUSSIAN PROCESSES

In this paper,we will define the quantum Gaussian processes based on ordinary Gaussian processes by means of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces,and investigate the relation between their stochastic properties. Particularly,we are interested in Brownian bridges and quantum Ornstein Uhlenbeck processes.We are even able to construct each of them in two different ways:to construct quantum processes based on ordinary Brownian bridges(Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes resp.)or to solve the quantum S.D.E. driven by quantum Brownian motions. But essentially they are the same.

Multi-output Gaussian Process Regression Model with Combined Kernel Function for Polyester Esterification Processes

In polyester fiber industrial processes,the prediction of key performance indicators is vital for product quality.The esterification process is an indispensable step in the polyester polymerization process.It has the characteristics of strong coupling,nonlinearity and complex mechanism.To solve these problems,we put forward a multi-output Gaussian process regression(MGPR)model based on the combined kernel function for the polyester esterification process.Since the seasonal and trend decomposition using loess(STL)can extract the periodic and trend characteristics of time series,a combined kernel function based on the STL and the kernel function analysis is constructed for the MGPR.The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by the actual polyester esterification process data collected from fiber production.
