A family of random probabilities is defined and studied. This family contains the Dirichlet process as a special case, corresponding to an inner point in the appropriate parameter space. The extension makes it possible to have random means…
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for bounding the cumulant generating function (CGF) of a Dirichlet process (DP) $X \sim \text{DP}(\alpha \nu_0)$, using superadditivity. In particular, our key technical contribution is the…
Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) can account for both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty. However, in BNNs the priors are often specified over the weights which rarely reflects true prior knowledge in large and complex neural network…
