Abstract :
Mixtures of Gaussian process priors allow the flexible implementation of complex and situation specific a priori information. This is essential for tasks with, compared to their complexity, small number of available training data. The paper concentrates on the formalism for Gaussian regression problems where prior mixture models provide a generalisation of classical quadratic, typically smoothness related, regularisation approaches being more flexible without having a much larger computational complexity
