Laplace Approximation For Tensor Train Kernel Machines In System Identification
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new study introduces a Bayesian tensor train kernel machine that utilizes Laplace approximation to enhance Gaussian process regression in system identification. This method addresses scalability issues by estimating the posterior distribution over a selected tensor train core while employing variational inference for hyperparameter precision. Experiments indicate that core selection is largely independent of tensor train ranks and feature structures, achieving significantly faster training times.
