This paper introduces a general method to approximate the convolution of an arbitrary program with a Gaussian kernel. This process has the effect of smoothing out a program. Our compiler framework models intermediate values in the program…
Gibbs-type random probability measures, or Gibbs-type priors, are arguably the most "natural" generalization of the celebrated Dirichlet prior. Among them the two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet prior certainly stands out for the mathematical…
We provide a Poisson approximation result for dependent thinnings of Gibbs point processes as well as qualitative and quantitative central limit theorems for geometric functionals of Gibbs point processes in increasing observation windows.…
The use of Gaussian process models is typically limited to datasets with a few tens of thousands of observations due to their complexity and memory footprint. The two most commonly used methods to overcome this limitation are 1) the…
