Fast Forward Selection to Speed Up Sparse Gaussian Process Regression

Abstract: We present a method for the sparse greedy approximation of Bayesian Gaussian process regression, featuring a novel heuristic for very fast forward selection Our method is essentially as fast as an equivalent one which selects the "support" patterns at random, yet it can outperform random selection on hard curve fitting tasks More importantly, it leads to a sufficiently stable approximation of the log marginal likelihood of the training data, which can be optimised to adjust a large number of hyperparameters automatically We demonstrate the model selection capabilities of the algorithm in a range of experiments In line with the development of our method, we present a simple view on sparse approximations for GP models and their underlying assumptions and show relations to other methods

Gaussian sum particle filtering

Abstract: We use the Gaussian particle filter to build several types of Gaussian sum particle filters. These filters approximate the filtering and predictive distributions by weighted Gaussian mixtures and are basically banks of Gaussian particle filters. Then, we extend the use of Gaussian particle filters and Gaussian sum particle filters to dynamic state space (DSS) models with non-Gaussian noise. With non-Gaussian noise approximated by Gaussian mixtures, the non-Gaussian noise models are approximated by banks of Gaussian noise models, and Gaussian mixture filters are developed using algorithms developed for Gaussian noise DSS models. As a result, problems involving heavy-tailed densities can be conveniently addressed. Simulations are presented to exhibit the application of the framework developed herein, and the performance of the algorithms is examined.

Transfer Learning Based Visual Tracking with Gaussian Processes Regression

Abstract: Modeling the target appearance is critical in many modern visual tracking algorithms. Many tracking-by-detection algorithms formulate the probability of target appearance as exponentially related to the confidence of a classifier output. By contrast, in this paper we directly analyze this probability using Gaussian Processes Regression (GPR), and introduce a latent variable to assist the tracking decision. Our observation model for regression is learnt in a semi-supervised fashion by using both labeled samples from previous frames and the unlabeled samples that are tracking candidates extracted from the current frame. We further divide the labeled samples into two categories: auxiliary samples collected from the very early frames and target samples from most recent frames. The auxiliary samples are dynamically re-weighted by the regression, and the final tracking result is determined by fusing decisions from two individual trackers, one derived from the auxiliary samples and the other from the target samples. All these ingredients together enable our tracker, denoted as TGPR, to alleviate the drifting issue from various aspects. The effectiveness of TGPR is clearly demonstrated by its excellent performances on three recently proposed public benchmarks, involving 161 sequences in total, in comparison with state-of-the-arts.
