The actual science of logic is conversant at present only with things either certain, impossible, or entirely doubtful, none of which (fortunately) we have to reason on. Therefore the true logic for this world is the calculus of Probabilities, which takes account of the magnitude of the probability which is, or ought to be, in a reasonable man’s mind.

— James Clerk Maxwell [1850]

Series Foreword

The goal of building systems that can adapt to their environments and learn from their experience has attracted researchers from many fields, including com- puter science, engineering, mathematics, physics, neuroscience, and cognitive science. Out of this research has come a wide variety of learning techniques that have the potential to transform many scientific and industrial fields. Recently, several research communities have converged on a common set of issues sur- rounding supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning problems. The MIT Press series on Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning seeks to unify the many diverse strands of machine learning research and to foster high quality research and innovative applications.

One of the most active directions in machine learning has been the de- velopment of practical Bayesian methods for challenging learning problems. Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning presents one of the most important Bayesian machine learning approaches based on a particularly effective method for placing a prior distribution over the space of functions. Carl Edward Ras- mussen and Chris Williams are two of the pioneers in this area, and their book describes the mathematical foundations and practical application of Gaussian processes in regression and classification tasks. They also show how Gaussian processes can be interpreted as a Bayesian version of the well-known support vector machine methods. Students and researchers who study this book will be able to apply Gaussian process methods in creative ways to solve a wide range of problems in science and engineering.

Preface

Over the last decade there has been an explosion of work in the “kernel ma- kernel machines chines” area of machine learning. Probably the best known example of this is work on support vector machines, but during this period there has also been much activity concerning the application of Gaussian process models to ma- chine learning tasks. The goal of this book is to provide a systematic and uni- fied treatment of this area. Gaussian processes provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. This gives advantages with respect to the interpretation of model predictions and provides a well- founded framework for learning and model selection. Theoretical and practical developments of over the last decade have made Gaussian processes a serious competitor for real supervised learning applications.

Roughly speaking a stochastic process is a generalization of a probability Gaussian process distribution (which describes a finite-dimensional random variable) to func- tions. By focussing on processes which are Gaussian, it turns out that the computations required for inference and learning become relatively easy. Thus, the supervised learning problems in machine learning which can be thought of as learning a function from examples can be cast directly into the Gaussian process framework.

Our interest in Gaussian process (GP) models in the context of machine Gaussian processes in machine learninglearning was aroused in 1994, while we were both graduate students in Geoff

Hinton’s Neural Networks lab at the University of Toronto. This was a time when the field of neural networks was becoming mature and the many con- nections to statistical physics, probabilistic models and statistics became well known, and the first kernel-based learning algorithms were becoming popular. In retrospect it is clear that the time was ripe for the application of Gaussian processes to machine learning problems.

Many researchers were realizing that neural networks were not so easy to neural networks apply in practice, due to the many decisions which needed to be made: what architecture, what activation functions, what learning rate, etc., and the lack of a principled framework to answer these questions. The probabilistic framework was pursued using approximations by MacKay [1992b] and using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods by Neal [1996]. Neal was also a graduate stu- dent in the same lab, and in his thesis he sought to demonstrate that using the Bayesian formalism, one does not necessarily have problems with “overfitting” when the models get large, and one should pursue the limit of large models. While his own work was focused on sophisticated Markov chain methods for inference in large finite networks, he did point out that some of his networks became Gaussian processes in the limit of infinite size, and “there may be sim- large neural networks

≡ Gaussian processespler ways to do inference in this case.”

It is perhaps interesting to mention a slightly wider historical perspective. The main reason why neural networks became popular was that they allowed the use of adaptive basis functions, as opposed to the well known linear models. adaptive basis functions The adaptive basis functions, or hidden units, could “learn” hidden features

xiv Preface

useful for the modelling problem at hand. However, this adaptivity came at the cost of a lot of practical problems. Later, with the advancement of the “kernel era”, it was realized that the limitation of fixed basis functions is not a bigmany fixed basis

functions restriction if only one has enough of them, i.e. typically infinitely many, and one is careful to control problems of overfitting by using priors or regularization. The resulting models are much easier to handle than the adaptive basis function models, but have similar expressive power.

Thus, one could claim that (as far a machine learning is concerned) the adaptive basis functions were merely a decade-long digression, and we are now back to where we came from. This view is perhaps reasonable if we think of models for solving practical learning problems, although MacKay [2003, ch. 45], for example, raises concerns by asking “did we throw out the baby with the bath water?”, as the kernel view does not give us any hidden representations, tellinguseful representations us what the useful features are for solving a particular problem. As we will argue in the book, one answer may be to learn more sophisticated covariance functions, and the “hidden” properties of the problem are to be found here. An important area of future developments for GP models is the use of more expressive covariance functions.

Supervised learning problems have been studied for more than a centurysupervised learning in statistics in statistics, and a large body of well-established theory has been developed.

More recently, with the advance of affordable, fast computation, the machine learning community has addressed increasingly large and complex problems.

Much of the basic theory and many algorithms are shared between thestatistics and machine learning statistics and machine learning community. The primary differences are perhaps

the types of the problems attacked, and the goal of learning. At the risk of oversimplification, one could say that in statistics a prime focus is often indata and models understanding the data and relationships in terms of models giving approximate summaries such as linear relations or independencies. In contrast, the goals in machine learning are primarily to make predictions as accurately as possible andalgorithms and

predictions to understand the behaviour of learning algorithms. These differing objectives have led to different developments in the two fields: for example, neural network algorithms have been used extensively as black-box function approximators in machine learning, but to many statisticians they are less than satisfactory, because of the difficulties in interpreting such models.

Gaussian process models in some sense bring together work in the two com-bridging the gap munities. As we will see, Gaussian processes are mathematically equivalent to many well known models, including Bayesian linear models, spline models, large neural networks (under suitable conditions), and are closely related to others, such as support vector machines. Under the Gaussian process viewpoint, the models may be easier to handle and interpret than their conventional coun- terparts, such as e.g. neural networks. In the statistics community Gaussian processes have also been discussed many times, although it would probably be excessive to claim that their use is widespread except for certain specific appli- cations such as spatial models in meteorology and geology, and the analysis of computer experiments. A rich theory also exists for Gaussian process models

in the time series analysis literature; some pointers to this literature are given in Appendix B.

The book is primarily intended for graduate students and researchers in intended audience machine learning at departments of Computer Science, Statistics and Applied Mathematics. As prerequisites we require a good basic grounding in calculus, linear algebra and probability theory as would be obtained by graduates in nu- merate disciplines such as electrical engineering, physics and computer science. For preparation in calculus and linear algebra any good university-level text- book on mathematics for physics or engineering such as Arfken [1985] would be fine. For probability theory some familiarity with multivariate distributions (especially the Gaussian) and conditional probability is required. Some back- ground mathematical material is also provided in Appendix A.

The main focus of the book is to present clearly and concisely an overview focus of the main ideas of Gaussian processes in a machine learning context. We have also covered a wide range of connections to existing models in the literature, and cover approximate inference for faster practical algorithms. We have pre- sented detailed algorithms for many methods to aid the practitioner. Software implementations are available from the website for the book, see Appendix C. We have also included a small set of exercises in each chapter; we hope these will help in gaining a deeper understanding of the material.

In order limit the size of the volume, we have had to omit some topics, such scope as, for example, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for inference. One of the most difficult things to decide when writing a book is what sections not to write. Within sections, we have often chosen to describe one algorithm in particular in depth, and mention related work only in passing. Although this causes the omission of some material, we feel it is the best approach for a monograph, and hope that the reader will gain a general understanding so as to be able to push further into the growing literature of GP models.

The book has a natural split into two parts, with the chapters up to and book organization including chapter 5 covering core material, and the remaining sections covering the connections to other methods, fast approximations, and more specialized properties. Some sections are marked by an asterisk. These sections may be ∗ omitted on a first reading, and are not pre-requisites for later (un-starred) material.

We have found the joint writing of this book an excellent experience. Although hard at times, we are confident that the end result is much better than either one of us could have written alone.

Now, ten years after their first introduction into the machine learning com-looking ahead munity, Gaussian processes are receiving growing attention. Although GPs have been known for a long time in the statistics and geostatistics fields, and their use can perhaps be traced back as far as the end of the 19th century, their application to real problems is still in its early phases. This contrasts somewhat the application of the non-probabilistic analogue of the GP, the support vec- tor machine, which was taken up more quickly by practitioners. Perhaps this has to do with the probabilistic mind-set needed to understand GPs, which is not so generally appreciated. Perhaps it is due to the need for computational short-cuts to implement inference for large datasets. Or it could be due to the lack of a self-contained introduction to this exciting field—with this volume, we hope to contribute to the momentum gained by Gaussian processes in machine learning.

Chapter 1

Introduction

In this book we will be concerned with supervised learning, which is the problem of learning input-output mappings from empirical data (the training dataset). Depending on the characteristics of the output, this problem is known as either regression, for continuous outputs, or classification, when outputs are discrete.

A well known example is the classification of images of handwritten digits. digit classification The training set consists of small digitized images, together with a classification from 0, . . . , 9, normally provided by a human. The goal is to learn a mapping from image to classification label, which can then be used on new, unseen images. Supervised learning is an attractive way to attempt to tackle this problem, since it is not easy to specify accurately the characteristics of, say, the handwritten digit 4.

An example of a regression problem can be found in robotics, where we wish robotic control to learn the inverse dynamics of a robot arm. Here the task is to map from the state of the arm (given by the positions, velocities and accelerations of the joints) to the corresponding torques on the joints. Such a model can then be used to compute the torques needed to move the arm along a given trajectory. Another example would be in a chemical plant, where we might wish to predict the yield as a function of process parameters such as temperature, pressure, amount of catalyst etc.

In general we denote the input as x, and the output (or target) as y. The the dataset input is usually represented as a vector x as there are in general many input variables—in the handwritten digit recognition example one may have a 256- dimensional input obtained from a raster scan of a 16 × 16 image, and in the robot arm example there are three input measurements for each joint in the arm. The target y may either be continuous (as in the regression case) or discrete (as in the classification case). We have a dataset D of n observations, D = {(xi, yi)|i = 1, . . . , n}.

Given this training data we wish to make predictions for new inputs x∗ training is inductive that we have not seen in the training set. Thus it is clear that the problem at hand is inductive; we need to move from the finite training data D to a

2 Introduction

function f that makes predictions for all possible input values. To do this we must make assumptions about the characteristics of the underlying function, as otherwise any function which is consistent with the training data would be equally valid. A wide variety of methods have been proposed to deal with the supervised learning problem; here we describe two common approaches. Thetwo approaches first is to restrict the class of functions that we consider, for example by only considering linear functions of the input. The second approach is (speaking rather loosely) to give a prior probability to every possible function, where higher probabilities are given to functions that we consider to be more likely, for example because they are smoother than other functions.1 The first approach has an obvious problem in that we have to decide upon the richness of the class of functions considered; if we are using a model based on a certain class of functions (e.g. linear functions) and the target function is not well modelled by this class, then the predictions will be poor. One may be tempted to increase the flexibility of the class of functions, but this runs into the danger of overfitting, where we can obtain a good fit to the training data, but perform badly when making test predictions.

The second approach appears to have a serious problem, in that surely there are an uncountably infinite set of possible functions, and how are we going to compute with this set in finite time? This is where the GaussianGaussian process process comes to our rescue. A Gaussian process is a generalization of the Gaussian probability distribution. Whereas a probability distribution describes random variables which are scalars or vectors (for multivariate distributions), a stochastic process governs the properties of functions. Leaving mathematical sophistication aside, one can loosely think of a function as a very long vector, each entry in the vector specifying the function value f(x) at a particular input x. It turns out, that although this idea is a little näıve, it is surprisingly close what we need. Indeed, the question of how we deal computationally with these infinite dimensional objects has the most pleasant resolution imaginable: if you ask only for the properties of the function at a finite number of points, then inference in the Gaussian process will give you the same answer if you ignore the infinitely many other points, as if you would have taken them all into account! And these answers are consistent with answers to any other finite queries youconsistency may have. One of the main attractions of the Gaussian process framework is precisely that it unites a sophisticated and consistent view with computationaltractability tractability.

It should come as no surprise that these ideas have been around for some time, although they are perhaps not as well known as they might be. Indeed, many models that are commonly employed in both machine learning and statis- tics are in fact special cases of, or restricted kinds of Gaussian processes. In this volume, we aim to give a systematic and unified treatment of the area, showing connections to related models.

1These two approaches may be regarded as imposing a restriction bias and a preference bias respectively; see e.g. Mitchell [1997].
