Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Neural Process (NP) is a deep generation model which can consider the uncertainty of prediction. The unknown output is estimated by learning the stochastic expression of the original function as a latent variable using the known input/output data following the shape unknown function as learning data. On the other hand, NP assumes Gaussian distribution as a distribution followed by latent variables, so it is difficult to adapt to data following a function represented by a complex distribution with non-Gaussian latent variables. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical NP which is a hierarchical representation of the latent variables of NPs. In addition to the hierarchy of NPs, we introduce skip paths and bidirectional latent variables in order to improve the learning efficiency of latent variables in upper layers. As a result of the comparison experiment using the composite function of the linear function, it was shown that the prediction performance of the proposed method was inferior to the existing method in the simple condition setting.
