Batch learning equals online learning in Bayesian supervised learning
Abstract
In this paper we study Bayesian supervised learning models proposed by L\^e in \cite{Le2025}. We show the existence of Bayesian inversions on universal Bayesian supervised learning models for arbitrary input space , Souslin label space , and prior probability measure . Using functoriality of probabilistic morphisms, we prove that sequential and batch Bayesian inversions coincide in supervised learning models with conditionally independent (possibly non-i.i.d.) data \cite{Le2025}. This equivalence holds without domination or discreteness assumptions on sampling operators. We derive a recursive formula for posterior predictive distributions, which reduces to the Kalman filter in Gaussian process regression. For Souslin label spaces and arbitrary input sets , we characterize probability measures on via projective systems, generalizing Orbanz \cite{Orbanz2011}. We revisit MacEachern's Dependent Dirichlet Processes (DDP) \cite{MacEachern2000} using copula-based constructions \cite{BJQ2012} and show how to compute posterior predictive distributions in universal Bayesian supervised models with DDP priors.
