Abstract
In the realm of machine learning, overfitting remains a persistent challenge when striving for optimal performance in various tasks, and modeling uncertainty for better explainability and regularisation a driving force for more research in bayesian approaches. This master's thesis delves into the fusion of diverse concepts from Bayesian statistics, Gaussian processes, and neural networks to address the complex issues of overfitting and uncertainty quantification while maintaining accuracy. Specifically, it explores the incorporation of non-stationary kernels within functional Bayesian neural networks with Gaussian process priors, and harnessing the power of bayesian belief matching in classification to strike a balance between predictive capability and generalization. Experimental results validate the efficacy of the proposed approach, showcasing the potential of synergizing bayesian approaches with neural networks, but also highlight its limitations and complexities.Description
