Sparse Gaussian Processes with Spherical Harmonic Features
We introduce a new class of inter-domain variational Gaussian processes (GP) where data is mapped onto the unit hypersphere in order to use spherical harmonic representations. Our inference scheme is comparable to variational Fourier features, but it does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality, and leads to diagonal covariance matrices between inducing variables. This enables a speed-up in inference, because it bypasses the need to invert large covariance matrices. Our experiments show that our model is able to fit a regression model for a dataset with 6 million entries two orders of magnitude faster compared to standard sparse GPs, while retaining state of the art accuracy. We also demonstrate competitive performance on classification with non-conjugate likelihoods.

Sparse Gaussian Processes with Spherical Harmonic Features Revisited
We revisit the Gaussian process model with spherical harmonic features and study connections between the associated RKHS, its eigenstructure and deep models. Based on this, we introduce a new class of kernels which corre…
