New warm-start strategies accelerate Gaussian Process inference

Researchers have developed new warm-start strategies to accelerate Gaussian Process (GP) inference, a critical component for tasks like active learning and Bayesian optimization. These methods leverage solutions from smaller linear systems to significantly speed up convergence when updating the GP posterior with new data. Theoretical analysis and empirical results demonstrate that these warm-starting techniques can achieve speed-ups of up to 19x and yield more accurate posterior estimates, thereby improving optimization performance.
