|
||
|
||
## Quick Start
|
||
|
||
### 1. Sparse Variational GP (SVGP)
|
||
|
||
For large datasets, use SVGP with inducing points:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::{SVGP, SVGPConfig};
|
||
use rtx_tensor::{Tensor, Device};
|
||
|
||
let device = Device::cpu();
|
||
|
||
// Training data
|
||
let x_train = Tensor::randn(vec![1000, 5], &device)?;
|
||
let y_train = Tensor::randn(vec![1000], &device)?;
|
||
|
||
// Configure SVGP
|
||
let config = SVGPConfig {
|
||
num_inducing: 100, // Use 100 inducing points
|
||
learn_inducing_locations: false,
|
||
jitter: 1e-6,
|
||
length_scale: 1.0,
|
||
variance: 1.0,
|
||
noise: 0.1,
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
let mut svgp = SVGP::new(config)?;
|
||
svgp.initialize(&x_train, &y_train)?;
|
||
|
||
// Compute ELBO (Evidence Lower Bound)
|
||
let elbo = svgp.elbo(&x_train, &y_train)?;
|
||
println!("ELBO: {}", elbo);
|
||
|
||
// Predict with uncertainty
|
||
let x_test = Tensor::randn(vec![100, 5], &device)?;
|
||
let (mean, variance) = svgp.predict(&x_test)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2. Deep Gaussian Process
|
||
|
||
Stack multiple GP layers for complex patterns:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::{DeepGP, DeepGPConfig};
|
||
|
||
let config = DeepGPConfig {
|
||
num_layers: 3, // 3-layer Deep GP
|
||
hidden_dims: vec![10, 5], // Hidden layer dimensions
|
||
num_inducing_per_layer: 50, // Inducing points per layer
|
||
length_scale: 1.0,
|
||
variance: 1.0,
|
||
noise: 0.1,
|
||
jitter: 1e-6,
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
let mut dgp = DeepGP::new(input_dim, output_dim, config)?;
|
||
dgp.initialize(&x_train, &y_train)?;
|
||
|
||
// Propagate through all layers
|
||
let layer_outputs = dgp.propagate(&x_test)?;
|
||
|
||
// Get final predictions
|
||
let (mean, variance) = dgp.predict(&x_test)?;
|
||
|
||
// Compute joint ELBO
|
||
let elbo = dgp.elbo(&x_train, &y_train)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 3. Advanced Kernels
|
||
|
||
#### Spectral Mixture Kernel
|
||
|
||
Learn spectral structure in data:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::SpectralMixtureKernel;
|
||
|
||
let weights = vec![0.5, 0.3, 0.2]; // Mixture weights
|
||
let means = vec![
|
||
vec![1.0, 2.0], // Mean frequencies (component 1)
|
||
vec![0.5, 1.0], // Component 2
|
||
vec![2.0, 3.0], // Component 3
|
||
];
|
||
let variances = vec![
|
||
vec![0.1, 0.2], // Variance scales
|
||
vec![0.15, 0.25],
|
||
vec![0.2, 0.3],
|
||
];
|
||
|
||
let kernel = SpectralMixtureKernel::new(weights, means, variances)?;
|
||
let k = kernel.compute(&x1, &x2);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Periodic Kernel
|
||
|
||
For periodic patterns:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::PeriodicKernel;
|
||
|
||
let kernel = PeriodicKernel::new(
|
||
1.0, // variance
|
||
24.0, // period (e.g., daily cycle)
|
||
1.0, // length_scale
|
||
)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Rational Quadratic Kernel
|
||
|
||
Infinite mixture of RBF kernels:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::RationalQuadraticKernel;
|
||
|
||
let kernel = RationalQuadraticKernel::new(
|
||
1.0, // variance
|
||
1.0, // length_scale
|
||
1.0, // alpha (relative weighting)
|
||
)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Composite Kernels
|
||
|
||
Combine kernels via addition or multiplication:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::{CompositeKernel, KernelOp, AdvancedKernel};
|
||
|
||
let k1 = AdvancedKernel::Periodic(periodic_kernel);
|
||
let k2 = AdvancedKernel::RationalQuadratic(rq_kernel);
|
||
|
||
// Add kernels
|
||
let k_sum = CompositeKernel::new(k1.clone(), k2.clone(), KernelOp::Add);
|
||
|
||
// Multiply kernels
|
||
let k_prod = CompositeKernel::new(k1, k2, KernelOp::Multiply);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Scaled Kernel
|
||
|
||
Apply variance scaling:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::ScaledKernel;
|
||
|
||
let base_kernel = AdvancedKernel::Periodic(periodic_kernel);
|
||
let scaled = ScaledKernel::new(base_kernel, 2.5)?; // Scale by 2.5
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 4. Inducing Point Selection
|
||
|
||
Choose the best strategy for your data:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use rtx_ml_classic::bayesian::{select_inducing_points, InducingStrategy};
|
||
|
||
// Random selection (fastest)
|
||
let inducing = select_inducing_points(
|
||
&x_train, 100, InducingStrategy::Random, None
|
||
)?;
|
||
|
||
// K-means clustering (balanced coverage)
|
||
let inducing = select_inducing_points(
|
||
&x_train, 100, InducingStrategy::KMeans, None
|
||
)?;
|
||
|
||
// Greedy selection (maximizes spread)
|
||
let inducing = select_inducing_points(
|
||
&x_train, 100, InducingStrategy::Greedy, None
|
||
)?;
|
||
|
||
// Fixed user-provided points
|
||
let fixed_points = Tensor::randn(vec![100, 5], &device)?;
|
||
let inducing = select_inducing_points(
|
||
&x_train, 100, InducingStrategy::Fixed, Some(&fixed_points)
|
||
)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Architecture Details
|
||
|
||
### Sparse Variational GP (SVGP)
|
||
|
||
SVGP approximates the full GP using M inducing points:
|
||
|
||
- **Inducing points**: Xu ∈ ℝ^(M×D)
|
||
- **Variational mean**: m ∈ ℝ^M
|
||
- **Variational variance**: S ∈ ℝ^M (diagonal for efficiency)
|
||
|
||
**ELBO**: `log p(y|f) - KL(q(u) || p(u))`
|
||
|
||
**KL Divergence**: `0.5 * [tr(Kuu^(-1) S) + m^T Kuu^(-1) m - M + log|Kuu| - log|S|]`
|
||
|
||
### Deep GP Architecture
|
||
|
||
Each layer is a variational GP:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Input X → GP Layer 1 → GP Layer 2 → ... → GP Layer L → Output
|
||
[N,D] [N,H1] [N,H2] [N,1]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Mean-field approximation for inference
|
||
- Layer-wise ELBO computation
|
||
- Sequential propagation through layers
|
||
|
||
## Performance Guidelines
|
||
|
||
### Scalability
|
||
|
||
- **Small datasets** (<1K samples): Use standard GP
|
||
- **Medium datasets** (1K-10K): Use SVGP with M=100-500 inducing points
|
||
- **Large datasets** (>10K): Use SVGP with M=500-1000 inducing points
|
||
|
||
### Inducing Point Selection
|
||
|
||
- **Random**: Fastest, good for uniform data
|
||
- **K-means**: Best for clustered data
|
||
- **Greedy**: Best coverage, slowest
|
||
|
||
### Memory Usage
|
||
|
||
- SVGP: O(M² + NM) vs full GP O(N²)
|
||
- Deep GP: O(L × M²) where L is number of layers
|
||
|
||
## Implementation Details
|
||
|
||
### Numerical Stability
|
||
|
||
- Jitter added to diagonal: `K + jitter * I`
|
||
- Cholesky decomposition for matrix inversions
|
||
- Forward/backward substitution for solving linear systems
|
||
|
||
### Kernel Computations
|
||
|
||
All kernels implement the RBF distance metric:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
k(x, x') = σ² exp(-γ||x - x'||²)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
With variations:
|
||
- **Periodic**: Uses sin²(π|x-x'|/period)
|
||
- **Spectral Mixture**: Sum of Gaussians in frequency domain
|
||
- **Rational Quadratic**: (1 + ||x-x'||²/(2αl²))^(-α)
|
||
|
||
