Abstract:Transformed Gaussian Processes (TGPs) are stochastic processes specified by transforming samples from the joint distribution from a prior process (typically a GP) using an invertible transformation; increasing the flexibility of the base process. Furthermore, they achieve competitive results compared with Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs), which are another generalization constructed by a hierarchical concatenation of GPs. In this work, we propose a generalization of TGPs named Deep Transformed Gaussian Processes (DTGPs), which follows the trend of concatenating layers of stochastic processes. More precisely, we obtain a multi-layer model in which each layer is a TGP. This generalization implies an increment of flexibility with respect to both TGPs and DGPs. Exact inference in such a model is intractable. However, we show that one can use variational inference to approximate the required computations yielding a straightforward extension of the popular DSVI inference algorithm Salimbeni et al (2017). The experiments conducted evaluate the proposed novel DTGPs in multiple regression datasets, achieving good scalability and performance.
