A Factor Graph Approach to Scalable Multi-Output Gaussian Process Regression

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 11917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-output Gaussian process regression scales cubically in the number of observations times outputs, and dense kernel-matrix methods need bespoke handling whenever different outputs are observed at different inputs.

Exact and general decoupled solutions of the LMC Multitask Gaussian Process model

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.

Unveiling Invariant and Transferable Latent Factors Across Heterogeneous Environments via ATLAS

This paper considers a multi-environment factor model in which high-dimensional covariates are collected from heterogeneous environments, with auxiliary labels available in a subset of these environments. The joint distribution of the covariates may vary across environments, whereas the latent structure is decomposed into invariant factors with shared loadings and heterogeneous factors with environment-specific loadings.

On Basis Function Selection for Sparse Gaussian Process Regression

The paper proposes three information‑theoretic criteria for selecting the most relevant basis functions in sparse Gaussian process regression, tailored to different levels of prior knowledge. Experiments on six UCI regression datasets and three basis families (HSGP, VFF, VISH) show that the no‑data criterion is a robust default, often outperforming simple truncation, while the data‑aware criteria yield significant improvements for HSGP. The study demonstrates that careful basis‑function selection can lead to better performance without increasing computational cost.
