Detailed Metrics 4.2 MODIFIED MODEL ACHIEVES SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS OVER STANDARD BAYESIAN GPLVM AND IS COMPARABLE TO SCVI We compare our proposed model with three benchmark models: OBGPLVM, the current state-ofthe-art scVI (Lopez et al., 2018) (Appendix A.1), and a simplified scVI model with a linear decoder (LDVAE) (Svensson et al., 2020) (Appendix A.2) on the synthetic dataset and a real-world COVID19 dataset (Stephenson et al., 2021). The UMAP plots for the COVID dataset are presented in Figure 3 and the detailed latent space metrics and UMAP plots are given in Appendix D. Based on the UMAP visualizations, we observe that for both the simulated and COVID datasets, the modified BGPLVM achieves more visually separated cell types and mixed batches compared to the standard Bayesian GPLVM. The model also achieves visually comparable visualizations to scVI and LDVAE (Figures 7 and 3). While the modified model may not achieve better performance when compared to scVI and LDVAE, the GPLVM offers a more intuitive way to encode prior domain knowledge, and exploring such kernels and likelihoods more tailored to specific datasets are left for future work.
