arXiv:2605.23434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Approximate inference over inducing variables is the central computational bottleneck of Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs). Existing methods either fit an explicit density $q_\phi(\bU)$ by an ELBO (DSVI, IPVI, DDVI, DBVI) or sample by MCMC (SGHMC). We instead frame DGP inference as \emph{posterior transport}: learn a deterministic sampler that maps a tractable reference measure to posterior-relevant inducing variables, regularised by a path prior derived from the Doob-bridged reference diffusion. Our realisation, \textbf{OM-Path} (formally FBVI-brid
The paper, published in 2026, represents a new advancement in deep Gaussian process inference, leveraging novel computational methods.
Improving the efficiency and scalability of Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs) can unlock more robust and performant AI models, particularly in domains requiring uncertainty quantification.
The introduction of OM-Path offers an alternative and potentially more efficient inference mechanism for DGPs, moving beyond existing ELBO-based or MCMC approaches.
