Robust Predictive Uncertainty and Double Descent in Contaminated Bayesian Random Features

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2602. 19126v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a robust Bayesian formulation of random feature (RF) regression that accounts explicitly for prior and likelihood misspecification via Huber-style contamination sets.

Dirichlet Process Mixtures of Trees with Gaussian Process Splits: A Bayesian Nonparametric Framework with Posterior Contraction Rate

arXiv:2609. 27930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a Bayesian nonparametric mixture of regression trees with a Dirichlet process prior over tree-parameter pairs, enabling data-driven selection of ensemble size and unifying CART, BART, random forests, and boosting.
