Mean Field Methods for Classification with Gaussian Processes

Abstract

We discuss the application of TAP mean field methods known from the Statistical Mechanics of disordered systems to Bayesian classifi(cid:173) cation models with Gaussian processes. In contrast to previous ap(cid:173) proaches, no knowledge about the distribution of inputs is needed. Simulation results for the Sonar data set are given.
