Derivative Gaussian Processes on a Two-Direction Budget

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Oct 7, 2026 · UTC

Gradient observations promise more accurate Gaussian process (GP) surrogates, but the cost of incorporating them has long stood in the way of realizing that promise. We propose a derivative GP with a budget of just two directions per observed gradient. One direction focuses on each gradient's direct contribution to target prediction, while the other aggregates its indirect contributions through correlations with the conditioning function values. Within a Vecchia approximation, where each prediction conditions on $m$ nearby inputs in $d$ dimensions, this construction represents their $md$ gradi
