Amortized Structured Stochastic Variational Inference for Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models

The paper introduces Amortized Structured Stochastic Variational Inference for Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models, enabling the variational posterior over latent variables to depend on GP inducing points. This approach addresses limitations of mean‑field approximations and yields improved reconstruction metrics for data manifold points.

Personalized Federated Hierarchical Gaussian Processes for Privacy-Preserving Modeling of Heterogeneous Distributed Systems

The paper introduces Personalized Federated Hierarchical Gaussian Processes (pFedHGP), a method for probabilistic regression and classification on data distributed across heterogeneous clients. Each client’s latent function is split into a shared global component, a client‑specific deviation that shares the global kernel, and a flexible local residual. Using sparse inducing‑variable approximations and federated variational inference, raw data remain local while the server exchanges only low‑dimensional statistics, enabling full predictive distributions for uncertainty‑aware decisions. In experiments, pFedHGP achieves perfect fault classification in press tonnage monitoring with only 13.77% of labeled cycles and accurately recovers geographic zones in federated air‑quality modeling without centralizing station‑level time series.
