Experiment Setup

This has been tested on a Macbook Pro. All spatio-temporal VGP models have been implemented within the Bayes-Newton package.

Environment Setup

We recommend using conda:

conda create -n spatio_gp python=3.7
conda activate spatio_gp

Then install the required python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data Download

Pre-processed Data

All data, preprocessed and split into train-test splits used in the paper is provided at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4531304. Download the folder and place the corresponding datasets into experiments/*/data folders.

Manual Data Setup

We also provide scripts to generate the data manually:

make data

which will download the relevant London air quality and NYC data, clean them, and split into train-test splits.

Running Experiments

To run all experiments across all training folds run:

make experiments

To run an individual experiment refer to the Makefile.
