The proposed amortized active learning method eliminates the need for repeated model training and acquisition optimization, making it a more efficient solution for large-scale function learning tasks. The approach utilizes Gaussian processes as function priors to construct an AL simulator, trains a neural network policy that can generalize to real-world problems without additional data, and achieves comparable performance to baseline methods while reducing computational costs.

This paper proposes a new way of doing active learning for nonparametric functions. Instead of training the model every time we make a selection, we train it just once at the beginning and then use it to make choices throughout the process. This makes our method much faster than traditional approaches while still allowing us to learn from the data in an efficient manner.
