Scalable Variational Gaussian Process Classification

James Hensman, Alexander Matthews, Zoubin Ghahramani

Abstract

Gaussian process classification is a popular method with a number of appealing properties. We show how to scale the model within a variational inducing point framework, out-performing the state of the art on benchmark datasets. Importantly, the variational formulation an be exploited to allow classification in problems with millions of data points, as we demonstrate in experiments.
