Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We introduce a stochastic variational inference procedure for training scalable Gaussian process (GP) models whose per-iteration complexity is independent of both the number of training points, $n$, and the number basis functions used in the kernel approximation, $m$. Our central contributions include an unbiased stochastic estimator of the evidence lower bound (ELBO) for a Gaussian likelihood, as well as a stochastic estimator that lower bounds the ELBO for several other likelihoods such as Laplace and logistic. Independence of the stochastic optimization update complexity on $n$ and $m$ enables inference on huge datasets using large capacity GP models. We demonstrate accurate inference on large classification and regression datasets using GPs and relevance vector machines with up to $m = 10^7$ basis functions.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
