Description

Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning provides a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to Gaussian processes, a principled approach to learning in kernel machines. This book offers a systematic treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of Gaussian processes in machine learning, covering supervised-learning problems for regression and classification, as well as model selection from both Bayesian and classical perspectives. Gaussian processes have gained increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book fills a need for a unified treatment. The author discusses various covariance (kernel) functions, their properties, and connections to other techniques such as support-vector machines and neural networks. Theoretical issues are also addressed, including learning curves and the PAC-Bayesian framework. With detailed algorithms, illustrative examples, and exercises, this book is suitable for researchers and students in machine learning and applied statistics. Code and datasets are available online, providing a valuable resource for those looking to explore Gaussian processes further.
