Summary

Continuous input signals (e.g., images and time series) that are irregularly sampled or have missing values are challenging for existing deep learning methods. Probabilistic Numeric Convolutional Neural Networks proposes another advanced type of CNN. This CNN borrows concepts from probabilistic numeric theory and represents features as Gaussian processes, providing a probabilistic description of discretization error.
