Deep Q-EP improves image modeling by stacking Q-EP layers.
problem Inhomogeneous subjects like images with edges are poorly modeled by standard Gaussian processes.
method Introducing shallow Q-EP as a latent variable model, stacking multiple layers, and applying sparse approximation and scalable variational strategy.
result Deep Q-EP outperforms state-of-the-art deep probabilistic models in image modeling.
