Scaling Gaussian Process Regression with Full Derivative Observations

We present a scalable Gaussian Process (GP) method that can fit and predict full derivative observations called DSoftKI. It extends SoftKI, a method that approximates a kernel via softmax interpolation from learned interpolation point locations, to the setting with derivatives. DSoftKI enhances SoftKI's interpolation scheme to incorporate the directional orientation of interpolation points relative to the data. This enables the construction of a scalable approximate kernel, including its first and second-order derivatives, through interpolation. We evaluate DSoftKI on a synthetic function benchmark and high-dimensional molecular force field prediction (100-1000 dimensions), demonstrating that DSoftKI is accurate and can scale to larger datasets with full derivative observations than previously possible.
