Learning neural set functions is pivotal to a wide range of important applications, including compound selection in AI-driven drug discovery and product recommendation. Recent work has introduced optimal subset oracles to implicitly learn set functions under practical weakly supervised settings, where model parameters are optimized through mean-field variational inference.

arXiv:2605. 09075v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although the Laplace approximation offers a simple route to uncertainty quantification in deep neural networks, its reliance on inverting large Hessian matrices has motivated a range of computationally feasible low-dimensional or sparse approximations.
The paper introduces Gradient-based Sample Selection Bayesian Optimization (GSSBO), a method that builds the Gaussian process surrogate on a strategically chosen subset of samples rather than the full dataset. By using gradient information to eliminate redundant points while keeping diversity and representativeness, GSSBO achieves sublinear regret bounds and reduces the cubic computational cost of standard BO. Experiments on synthetic and real-world tasks show that this approach maintains comparable optimization performance while significantly cutting GP fitting time and resource usage.
