Bayesian optimisation (BO) uses probabilistic surrogate models - usually Gaussian processes (GPs) - for the optimisation of expensive black-box functions. At each BO iteration, the GP hyperparameters are fit to previously-evaluated data by…

Bayesian optimization (BO) methods are useful for optimizing functions that are expensive to evaluate, lack an analytical expression and whose evaluations can be contaminated by noise. These methods rely on a probabilistic model of the…

Ultrasound imaging is a widely used, non-invasive diagnostic tool in modern medicine. A crucial assumption is a constant sound speed in the observed medium. For large scale sound speed variations, this assumption leads to blurred and…

Robust grasping is a major, and still unsolved, problem in robotics. Information about the 3D shape of an object can be obtained either from prior knowledge (e.g., accurate models of known objects or approximate models of familiar objects)…

Anatomical segmentation of organs in ultrasound images is essential to many clinical applications, particularly for diagnosis and monitoring. Existing deep neural networks require a large amount of labeled data for training in order to…
