The paper introduces BO-pro-c, a Bayesian optimisation algorithm that employs a product-of-experts Gaussian process (GP-pro-c) as its surrogate model. GP-pro-c combines multiple local GP experts to improve uncertainty quantification, reduce computational cost, and preserve global correlations, addressing the cubic complexity of single global GP models. Experiments show that BO-pro-c achieves competitive optimisation performance with a 0.9% lower simple regret and a 39.4% reduction in computational overhead compared to a single‑global‑GP baseline.

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.

The paper presents an exact, efficient solution for the Linear Model of Co‑regionalization (LMC) multitask Gaussian Process by decoupling latent processes under a mild noise‑model assumption. It introduces a full parametrization of the resulting projected LMC, enabling linear‑time optimization and simplifying tasks such as training updates and leave‑one‑out cross‑validation. Experiments on synthetic and real data demonstrate that projected LMC is competitive with state‑of‑the‑art multitask GP models while offering greater interpretability and computational ease.
